Communications Tip
Communication in the Office
- Determine the appropriate form of communication. It should be based on the subject and the timeframe.
- Pick up the Phone – the message will be more clear and many questions may be resolved up front.
- Speak in person (if possible) – it allows for understanding of body language (do they still look confused after you have explained it?)
- Send an Email – remember to state the purpose, any action you would like the recipient to take (up front) and give a timeframe for any action.
- No matter how you communicate – Follow Up!
