The word netiquette is a combination of ’net’ (from internet) and ’etiquette’. It means respecting other users’ views and displaying common courtesy when communicating online (BBC).

Whilst working remotely, and as we transition to a more hybrid way of working, online communication has become more integral to our working lives than ever before. As a result, it is important that we make the best use of the technology, whilst being mindful of some of the potential pitfalls that can come with communicating in this way.

In this video, we discuss how you can apply basic netiquette when communicating and interacting with your colleagues through online methods such as email, Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
