when individuals working on hybrid work environment they're typically
relying on apps like teens or
Yammer or they're using text messages or the
relying on email to communicate back and forth with the people they work
with and this can cause a lot of miscommunication
because as we all know it's really hard to
grasp the full understanding of what someone's telling you or to
really understand the tone that they have
when they're talking to you so how many
of us have obviously received a text message from a friend
a loved one or someone you're working with and it says okay
well that period right there right away
makes you feel like well who Peter
or what IT looks
it's the little things that make people feel like they're my
communicating with those it's also the language that you
R. years ago I used to work for an advertising
agency and of my boss at the time at the time
of the copy writer and my boss emailed
me and said I need you to massage this copy
use the word massage so in my mind that was
okay I'll take this I'll tweak it a little bit
and I'll send it back it didn't mean a full rewrite
well in my boss's mind that's what it meant
so when I sat back copy that was just
slightly rewritten slightly reworked they came
back at me extremely upset told me that
we missed the deadline we didn't do what the client wanted
and I was at fault because I misunderstood what
massage right because we had two different under two
different definitions of that work so when you're
in a hybrid environment you really need to make sure that you're
communicating effectively so that you can avoid things like that
so how do we communicate internally
thankfully we have a lot of methods at our disposal
right away the number one thing that comes to mind is
email we rely on email all the time to
send information back and forth whether it's internally or externally
