Communication Protocols CCS - CHAT
Any communication for business purposes, other than phone calls, are to be conducted via our Teams platform. Therefore, if you wish to use your mobile phone for work purposes, you will need to install the Teams application.
Chats | Incidental, informal, non-critical, non-urgent (real-time conversation about a specific matter/document) |
Audience | Individual, group, or Team |
Expected Response | Respond at your next availability. No response expected/required when face to face with students, in a meeting, or outside 8:15am to 4:00pm. (Send only between 8:15am and 4:00pm, or schedule send between these times). |
Examples | “Hi Darren, have you got time to catch up this afternoon after 3?” “Hi Ross, can you grab the cones from the sports shed next time you are down that way?” |
