Draft a policy about employees’ email use. Consider what would be important for a company to communicate to employees about their email communication. Next, search the Internet to find a sample policy about appropriate use of email. You may find one on your school’s website (perhaps you had to read and sign a policy when you first enrolled). Compare your draft to the sample. Did you miss any important points? Revise our policy if necessary.
Then, in small groups, discuss your policy and be honest about how your use of email may violate the policy. Now that you know what is expected, would you handle email differently? Why or why not?
