As the choice of communications tools increases, the
corporate challenges of managing the etiquette, integrity and legalities of
usage also increase. This engaging event provides attendees with the opportunity
to learn from the protocol, HR and legal experts the ‘dos and don’ts of emails,
blogs and text messages while also hearing perspectives of dedicated ‘users’ of
these communications tools.
An Information
Mapping, Inc. study found that 89%
of the respondents wasted as much as one
hour per day trying to decipher poorly-written e-mails.
Another Nationwide
Commission study in 2006 found that time spent reading and applying information
in blogs, emails and other communications costs American corporations as much as
$3.1 billion annually. This does
not include the costs of people
reading and re-reading communications that they do not understand, taking wrong
actions based on miscommunications, or taking no actions and jeopardizing
corporate initiatives.
Your company’s image
and professionalism may be at risk when an employee participates in a blog,
sends an inappropriate email or text messages a client. This practical panel
discussion will provide you with tools and techniques to improve productivity
and results from communications today – through blogs, emails, text messaging
and more.
Key topics to be
discussed include:- When, why and how
blogging can be effective
