Just as parents need to define appropriate etiquette for dining and dating, they should tell their children that their e-mail habits create immediate impressions, too. Is that the only reason that e-mail has gotten so out of control? No, there are other reasons. We can’t leave the training up to companies alone.

Work is work, which can definitely be fulfilling, which I have to admit, is great in my life. You feel that your work life is in place and need to find some balance in other parts of your life? Up until recently, I too felt this way. There is life outside of the office, but of course, you need to go to work to get your bread and butter.

Here is some common-sense etiquette: Screen your calls: Subscribe to call display. There is a good purpose for them and they are definitely useful in a business setting. However, I think our etiquette hasnt caught up with the technology. I usually snap my fingers and say "Hey, over here!" We joke about it, but it is distracting.

It’s not generally good etiquette to try calling in without a booked meeting. You might assume they mean NFL and book tickets for a game coming up in the client’s city this weekend, but what if they meant an alternative definition of football? For example, by having “to do” at the front of the subject line. Context is important! #5.

This will definitely make a difference to whether this should be an approach to take. Many companies these days have specific rules against importing outside mail into their Exchange system, not only for security and confidentiality reasons, but also because of document retention issues.

What is the proper etiquette when addressing or writing to a President? Here is a video link on the proper etiquette to address a President. Everyone up here calls him Obama and our Prime Minister is called Harper. Why do we not use their full name? Or it is that we just dont know how to address them so revert to last names?

As you previously stated, this is a great way to not only meet new people but you can expand your list of contacts to include the new assistant.
