Join us free of charge for another exciting Parking and Mobility Pulse (PMP) session titled "7 Rules for Getting YOUR Message Across (Correctly) in Texts & Emails" presented by Matt Penny.

Session Summary: Miscommunication when texting and emailing at work can be all too common. Without knowing it, the same words that might be used in a phone conversation could easily be misinterpreted in these written forms. When we take the moment to consider the misunderstandings in work texts and emails, we are better able to address the challenges of 'words only' format. There are simple solutions to help us connect better with our coworkers and customers. The same steps help us avoid unintended consequences for ourselves and our organizations.
