Emails may be causing much of your workplace misunderstandings. According to a study by Preply, a foreign language platform, 87% of people believe that email causes much of the fractured communication and anxiety happening in today’s workplace.
Most of us have received an email from a colleague that has perplexed us. Without hearing their voice inflections, or looking into another’s eyes, their meaning can be greatly misunderstood.
Email is a quick, yet sometimes dangerous, mode of communication.
Proverbs 29:20 teaches, “Do you see someone who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for them.”
If you’re drafting an email, pause and consider how you would prefer to receive the message. Remember, a face-to-face meeting may be more time consuming, but it can prevent a fractured relationship.
