Eliminating Employees' Ability To Email

电子邮件通信

尽管苹果是一家走在技术进步最前沿的大公司，但似乎有一项技术进步是其他公司的负责人开始希望从未向员工提供过的。

电子邮件已经成为浪费时间和制造员工之间问题的工具，以至于许多公司不再认为它是一种合适的沟通方式，并正在大幅限制甚至消除员工使用电子邮件的能力。

Unintended Messages

HR Magazine, published by the Society for Human Resource Management, recently asked experts whether or not they felt small businesses are beginning to rely too much on computers.

The response was loud and clear-"YES!"

其中一位专家，Caliper（以及新泽西州的人力资源咨询公司）首席执行官兼总裁赫伯•格林伯格（Herb Greenberg）说：“我想从我的公司取缔（电子邮件）。

Email is a guarantee that unintended messages will be disseminated.

曲解

I've seen people not talk to each other, turf wars break out, and people quit their jobs as a result of emails."

格林伯格不是唯一有这种感觉的人。

《人力资源》杂志采访过的大多数沟通专家都认为，电子邮件是等待发生的误解。

限制电子邮件

因此，许多公司开始限制在工作场所使用电子邮件。

有些只允许某些员工向全体员工发送消息，有些只允许发送某些类型的消息。

For example, no emails with bad news, counselling, negotiations, or coaching may be sent.

There's no doubt that email has its place in the world and can be an efficient means of communication, but it certainly does take the personal touch out of employee interactions-a trend that's all too common today.

干得好

To put the personal touch back into employee relations, I suggest the liberal use of flowers.

鲜花是上司让员工知道他们所做的工作受到多大赞赏的绝佳方式。

他们可以说：“谢谢你做得好”，“就业纪念日快乐”，或者“祝贺你升职”

A gift of flowers can boost morale and, what's more, a recent study conducted at A&M University showed that employees who are exposed to flowers in the workplace produce more creative solutions than those who work in buildings where there are no flowers.

所以，虽然苹果可能是科技行业的先锋，但我们这些花卉行业的人只会坚持用花卉来保持个性！
