To emoji, or not to emoji, that is the question. Fostering appropriate digital etiquette is a critical workplace skill in a world where remote employment is increasingly becoming a norm.

Communication specialist Aaron Orendorff offers a go-to guide on professional etiquette for all employees working remotely.

Take-Aways

  • To master remote work, apply the 10 rules of professional digital etiquette. First and foremost, show up on time.
  • Send personal rather than generic emails.
  • Be reliable and fulfill your obligations.
