COMMUNICATION REVIEW · Workflow idea

Make a busy inbox easier to manage without sending a private message to the wrong team.

For work involving incoming work emails, tentative categories, and proposed internal routing, check the facts and permissions before taking the next step. Prepare a category and routing suggestion for each authorized work email, with uncertain messages held for a person. Email may contain confidential or sensitive details, and a misclassification can delay an urgent request. Minimize copied content, verify recipients and urgency, explain any handling expectations, and require a person to approve forwarding, replies, and consequential assignments.

Keep in mind

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Explain information use and retention

Tell affected people what is collected, why, who can access it, and when it will be removed.

Record consent and contact preferences

Keep permitted purposes, channels, opt-outs, and any recording or transcription consent clear.

Keep source dates and uncertainty visible

Show missing or stale information and provide a clear route to a human specialist.

Hold communication for approval

Do not send, forward, book, or promise an outcome until a person approves the exact action.
