How To Write Effective Emails In The Modern Workplace

Email tends to be the primary mode of communication for most professionals and while many choose to use services like Slack or Microsoft Teams, email tends to be a more formal way of communicating with colleagues, clients and other stakeholders.

Writing effective emails can not only help you avoid massive email threads, but it can also make you look more professional in the workplace and generally be more productive.

Now, I don’t claim to be an email expert, in fact, I’m far from it, but using email as my primary method of communication over the last few years has definitely taught me a lot about writing effective emails.

That’s why in this blog post, I decided to share some of the things that work well for me when writing effective emails.

1. Start With The Main Point

Not only does this type of email take a long time to read and reread, but many may simply not bother at all because they are put off by the length of the email.
