How do you feel about using emojis at work?

With emojis being an integral part of communication for younger generations, it’s only natural they will become more commonly used in the workplace in coming years.

While it appears there is a growing acceptance of these, some are more acceptable than others. Recent research showed that the ‘thumbs up’ emoji came top as the best way to convey a ‘well done’ (51%), followed by the ‘OK’ (16%), ‘starry eyes’ (13%), ‘smiley face’ (11%) and ‘raised hands’ emoji (10).

The ones to be wary of in the workplace are the ‘kissing mark’ (64%), ‘two people kissing’ (53%), ‘heart eyes’ (50%), the ‘asleep’ emoji (38%) and ‘rolling eyes’ (27%).
