Communications Today: Blogs, Email Etiquette and More  
Tuesday, October 9 2007, 6:30pm - 9:30pm

This event is sponsored by Apec, the largest french professionals and managers employement agency and not for profit organization

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
  • Five tips for improving email etiquette
  • Avoid the ‘fatal faux pas’ of communications today
  • Establishing and enforcing company policies
  • Avoiding legal dilemmas from communications
