Make Email Work For Us
Welcome to Make Email Work For Us. This initiative is a response to staff feedback about the need to create and implement protocols and practices which assist all staff to better manage the quality and quantity of email. It aims to:
- Provide ideas that will help keep email as an effective tool not a torment, and
- Tap into the knowledge and experiences of academic and professional staff about good email practice.
Our goal is to have you notice a change in the way the University uses email, leading to better workplace communication (with less email!).
TESTIMONIAL
Kristen Tola, A/Program Officer, Faculty of Science & IT says:
| "The MakeEmailWork online training tool helped me to identify some excellent ways to streamline my email communications. I learned that to highlight the relevant information in the subject heading means I can get my message across quickly and effectively. I also learned that by adapting the content or message, asking specific questions and indicating a date to respond, I can manage my workload more efficiently. Most importantly, I have found that by using these tools my colleagues and clients are responding positively and I am better managing my in-box." |
