Blaming email for employee communication noise is something we hear about a lot. But it's wrong to blame an excellent workplace communication tool when it should instead be on how email is either abused or not used properly.
Mainly, the blame should be placed on a lack of strategy in how email is used. Because executing internal communication tactics without a strategy, a plan, or measurement simply contributes to noise.
Here’s the reality. When communication professionals are simply contributing to the noise, we risk teaching our audience and our leaders to ignore us. Instead, there is a great opportunity for us to lead and address a key company pain point—that of email overload.
