Tips for writing and managing e-mail

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

I receive a daily message from the HR Daily Advisor and thought I would share two recent messages with all of you.

One was called “Do your E-mails Send the Right Message?” I know how tough it is sometimes to communicate what I am trying to say in an e-mail and think this information is helpful for me.

The second was a follow-up message regarding how to manage e-mails – 10 Tips for Managing Out-of-Control E-Mail.

I hope you are able to use the information as well.
