Sample Letter for Directive - Email Usage

Subject: Directive — Email Usage Policy Dear [Employee Name], I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to inform you of an important update regarding our company's email usage policy. As North Dakota strives to create an efficient and professional work environment, it becomes crucial to establish guidelines for proper email communication. The purpose of this directive is to ensure consistency, security, and effective usage of our email systems. Effective immediately, please adhere to the following guidelines when using company email: 1. Professional Tone and Language: Emails should be written in a professional manner, using proper grammar and appropriate language. Ensure that your messages reflect our company's brand and convey a respectful and positive image to recipients. 2. Clear and Concise Communication: Keep emails clear, concise, and to the point. Avoid unnecessary formatting, excessive use of capital letters, emoticons, or unnecessary attachments. Use appropriate subject lines and a structured format, including greetings and salutations. 3. Respect Confidentiality: Emails may contain sensitive or confidential information. Always remember to exercise caution when sharing company or client information via email. Only communicate pertinent details and always use BCC (blind carbon copy) when sending mass emails to protect recipient's privacy. 4. Professional Signature: Include a professional signature block at the end of your emails. This should include your name, job title, contact information, and any applicable disclaimers (as defined by company policy or legal requirements). 5. Timely Responses and Follow-up: Timeliness is crucial in email communication. Respond promptly to emails, preferably within 24 hours. Even if you cannot provide a detailed response immediately, acknowledge receipt and indicate when a comprehensive response can be expected. 6. Use of Personal Email: While we understand personal situations may require occasional use of personal email accounts, we encourage employees to primarily use company email for work-related communication. Personal emails on company time should be kept to a minimum and only during designated breaks or emergencies. 7. Compliance with Legal and Regulatory Requirements: Emails must comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and company policies. This includes refraining from sending or forwarding inappropriate, offensive, or discriminatory content. Unauthorized use or access to email accounts is strictly prohibited. It is essential that all employees understand the importance of adhering to this email usage policy. Failure to comply may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Please take the time to read and respect these guidelines. If you require any further clarification or have questions regarding this directive, please contact [Supervisor/Manager Name].
