We all know that one of the major advantages of e-mail correspondence is that it provides us with a quick means of communication.  Unfortunately, because it’s a speedy means of communication, some interpret it as not needing much attention which opens the door to less formality and sometimes to communicating in an aggressive manner.  If people are not sensitive to the nuances of communicating correctly via e-mails the following can occur: miscommunication, misunderstandings, loss of productivity, loss of trust - or even worst legal problems. 

As you know, even with the best of intentions, misunderstandings are likely to occur in almost any type of communication. You can repair glitches in a face-to-face dialog or even in a telephone conversation before any long term damage occurs. However, electronic mail does not offer the benefits of the visual and verbal signals you give off in face to face encounter. This course focuses on the dos and don’ts that are recommended by business and communication experts and provides guidelines that everyone can use.  Quick, courteous communication via e-mail can boost productivity and enhance relationships with both clients and colleagues; while bad e-mails cost companies’ time and money – and they are bad for business.
