Dear Colleagues :

Lately, I’ve been observing the frequent use of short replies like “Well Noted,” “Noted,” or “Amended” in our email correspondences, letters, working papers, WhatsApp & etc.

While they are succinct, they can sometimes lack the clarity or confirmation we might seek in digital communication.

Why does it matter?

1. Lack of Confirmation: These replies often do not confirm understanding or alignment.

2. Absence of Engagement: It potentially signals a lack of engagement or thoroughness.

3. Ambiguity: It leaves room for misunderstanding and assumption.

Remember, maintaining a positive and constructive tone is key, especially on professionals like us. Let’s uplift our communication norms to foster effective and harmonious collaboration.

A reflection on communication – one of the pivotal aspects of our professional world!
