It seems more and more likely that those arrangements we made to deal with the pandemic and ensure that business could continue were far more than a temporary stop-gap to a unique situation. The pandemic has likely caused companies to permanently adapt to the concept of remote work arrangements and this change has required turning over a bit of that decision-making power, in terms of where employees work and how often they come into the office (if at all), to the employees themselves.

Tune in as our hosts, Scott De Long, Ph.D., and Vince Moiso talk about remote and hybrid work environments with special guest, Rebecca Scolari.

So much business communication occurs through email—some might even say TOO MUCH communication is done this way. As a result, far too often relationships are strained, and deals are damaged due to typing the wrong message. You may not have intended to send that message, but the only message that is ever delivered is the one that is perceived by the recipient.

Tune in this week for episode 2.17 as Scott and Vince dive into email etiquette. They offer some tips on how best to use email in business and offer some basic processes that can help let email continue to be a tool for business and not a burden on business. When to respond, when not to respond, and ultimately, how to WRITE the RIGHT email and ensure your message is delivered as you intended.
