Using Common Business Acronyms at Work
Whether you’re working from home or are still one of the few commuting to your office every day, emails are a prevalent way of communicating with your fellow employees. With mostly email communication, however, comes a different lingo that employees might not be accustomed to especially if they’re used to in-person interaction.
We have come up with the Top-5 most commonly used text abbreviations used through email, to facilitate the communication process and allow the use of these acronyms to speed up productivity across your workforce.
Using our FastFox Text Expander, quickly apply these commonly used phrases and begin using them throughout your workday.
1. ASAP
ASAP stands for “As soon as possible.” This acronym is most frequently used across emails, text messages, and Direct Messages. ASAP comes in handy when you want to assure others that you will complete an impromptu project in a timely manner,
2. YTD
YTD means “year to date.” In a calendar or fiscal year, you can use YTD to show where you are as of the current date. This acronym is perfect when presenting profit margins in a quarterly or semi-annual email.
3. OOO
OOO, or “Out of office” can be an extremely useful one to add to your auto-reply signatures in an email. This acronym lets your coworkers know an immediate answer will not be provided and offers your coworkers the reassurance they need to find the answer to their questions via someone else.
4. NRN
When sending an email that needs no response you use NRN or “No response necessary” However, make sure to weigh pros and cons when using this one, as most people interpret statements differently.
5. EOD
“End of Day” can have two particular meanings. EOD can mean the end of the workday or the end of a 24-hour day. When implementing this acronym with your team, be sure to choose which one you are referring to, to avoid any confusion with your colleagues.
Adding acronyms to FastFox is quick and simple. After you’ve downloaded and installed FastFox Text Expander, click on “Add”
In the “New Simple Text Shortcut” screen, start adding the acronym shortcuts above along with their text expansion inside the “Expansion” box.
Once you are finished, click OK to finalize the process. Repeat this for every shortcut you have on your list.
We are positive that adding text shortcuts will allow for a more productive workday.
