When email first became common place in the work force I remember getting a list similar to this with rules such as: don't send emails with all caps because it looks like you are yelling. I especially like the rules to "turn your cameo on when having a video conference with fewer than five people" and "not all emails are urgent" What do you believe are today's online etiquette tips?

🌾Ever feel like your inbox has turned into a game of 'email Tetris'? 😂 Let's face it, corporate life can be a bit of a puzzle sometimes.  Here's to all the pros at juggling meetings, deadlines, and a never-ending stream of emails! 🧩💼 #CorporateHumor #WorkLifeBalance #EmailTetris #TeamSpirit #WorkLaughs

When your manager catches you leaving the office early, it's important to handle the situation with honesty and professionalism. Explain any valid reasons for leaving early and assure your manager that you will make up for the missed time or tasks. Transparency and communication are key to maintaining trust and accountability in the workplace. #digitalmarketingcourse #digitalmarketingagency #digitalcrave

Schedule 2-3 specific times to check your email each day! 🗓 While it may be tempting or familiar to let your inbox rule your work day, you will be much more productive if you focus on your top 3 priorities each day and only check your email at scheduled times such as 11:30 am and 4:30 pm, for example. Give it a try this week and observe what happens… You can always go back to what you know! Email can make us feel “connected” — related to our Human Connection theme this month— but we encourage you to connect when the timing is right for you. Even in our fast-paced world, you are not obligated to drop everything and provide people with an immediate response, unless the situation is truly urgent ⏰ . . . . #EmailProductivity #WorkLifeBalance #MaximizeProductivity #HumanConnectionMatters #DigitalWellness #FocusOnPriorities

What you out of office auto responder should not say: I'll get back to you as soon as possible. It conveys that you are diligent, and it shows you are not discerning about what should be responded to with urgency. We respect people more who are in control of their agenda and non reactive to whatever happens to come into their inbox. It's also not sincere because of course we receive many emails whilst out of office that we have no intention of responding to as soon as possible. Simple say you are away and will be back on whichever date. Leave an agreed alternative contact if it's related to an urgent piece of collaborative work. #productivity #wellbeing #email

🌟 The Importance of Respecting Professional Commitments 🌟 In today's fast-paced world, we all understand that life can be hectic and schedules can be demanding. However, it's crucial to respect each other's time, especially in a professional setting. Recently, we've faced challenges with potential clients, business partners, and job candidates who fail to show up for pre-scheduled online meetings without prior notice. This not only disrupts our productivity but also reflects a lack of professionalism and weak character. At the onset of any professional relationship, demonstrating respect for each other's time is paramount. It sets the tone for future interactions and builds a foundation of trust and reliability. We'd love to hear from you: what tools and methods do you use to ensure that no-shows and last-minute cancellations don't affect your productivity? Let's share best practices and support each other in maintaining high professional standards. #Professionalism #TimeManagement #Respect #Productivity #BusinessEtiquette
