23 SO, WHAT S WRONG HERE? What s wrong? What impression is given by this ? Why? What can be improved? How would you rewrite this ? (GROUP JOINT ACTIVITY JOINT CONSTRUCTION)

24 OUR PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION TIPS Always try to make s concise, clear and to the point without sounding rude, angry or aggressive. Ask yourself if an is even necessary? Would it perhaps be better (or even preferred) to speak directly to the person(s) involved? Shy away from sending individual people sitting next to you/across from you an if you can. Go and talk to them in person first!

25 OUR PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION TIPS (2) It s good to remember that our written s are a reflection of our professional brand and image. Also, don t let a hasty angry reply all or an insensitive joke or awkward picture stuff up and undo all of your good work in the office. Before hitting that send button make sure you spell and grammar check your drafted message. We d also recommend going easy at work particularly in your first weeks and months on emoticons and abbreviations such as L.O.L, B.T.W, O.M.G, B.R.B (be right back) etc.. Do you have any more tips to add here?
