On-linee etiquette Gadjets in our life
We spend an increasingly large amount of time online these days, personally and professionally. At the end of 2021, Ladders projected that 25% of all jobs in the United States would be remote by the end of 2022 and that the number of remote and hybrid jobs would only increase throughout 2023. With the rise in popularity of remote and hybrid work options further increasing the time we spend plugged in, it’s important for your organization to set guidelines for internet etiquette in your workplace. 
Internet etiquette, sometimes referred to as netiquette, is a set of standards for communicating and engaging with others online. Many netiquette guidelines simply boil down to common courtesy, but the lines may become blurry when working completely remotely or in a hybrid situation. 
Your workplace netiquette expectations may differ from another business’ expectations, and some organizations may have more formal rules in place for online communication than your business requires. This article discusses general guidelines you can share with your employees to ensure your online workplace is kept secure and professional.

Online workplaces can sometimes be overwhelming. You likely have three or more different ways to communicate with your coworkers and leaders. Hybrid and remote work demand increased written communication, even if you have a daily or weekly stand up call with your team. And with written communication, we often lose important communication cues like body language, tone of voice, and facial expressions, and scientists believe a whopping 55% of most communication is nonverbal! We communicate with far more than just words, after all. 
Practicing good netiquette is important because we can make up for some of the missed nonverbal cues. By practicing proper online communication whether you’re using Slack, emailing, participating in a video conference, or messaging your team through Asana, you can ensure your message is delivered in the way you intend it to be.
With all the different online methods we have at our disposal for keeping our team up-to-date on project statuses and the increase in online, written communication in general, we likewise need to increase the care we give to that communication. 
A simple trick to keeping your online communication top-notch is to ask yourself the 5 Ws. Asking yourself the following questions can help you determine the best way to deliver your message.
