The following points are guidelines on how to communicate effectively on our social media and group chats:
Do bear in mind issues of confidentiality when engaging with a wider group of people.
If you wouldn’t stand up at a WI meeting and say something publicly to the whole group then think twice about posting that something on a group chat.
Add emojis to explain the tone of your message, especially if you are being ironic or making a joke as without tone of voice it can sometimes be hard to differentiate
Reply to messages at reasonable times of the day and even
Do use the group for support – One of the best things about a group chat is that if we need someone to talk to, there’s usually at least one of our sister’s who can reply. So whether we need a quick chat or simply a response to a quick query someone will get back.
