“Hi Paul! Are you able to send me the marketing reports today? 😀’’

‘’Hey Polly, Congratulations on your promotion! 🎉 🥂! You deserved it!’’

‘’I’m kind of busy today 😔, are you able to help with the presentation decks?’’

If you are reading this, you are probably one of the people who live and breathe the Emoji language, or you might be someone who has chanced upon a colleague sending them messages filled with these harmless ideogrammatic icons. Basking ourselves in the world of Emojis, you must be wondering how Emojis became a form of expression in corporate settings and why it has revolutionized the way we communicate with each other online? 

The word Emoji is derived from Japanese words- ‘E’ stands image, ‘Mo’ stands for writing and ‘Ji’ stands for letter or character. The term Emoji came about in 1997 on Japanese mobile phones and since then, they have become increasingly popular worldwide after it was added in other mobile operating systems such as Apple and Android. 

Emojis have become a cultural phenomenon – it has shaped the way we express our ideas and emotions across languages, colleagues, friends, and family. Young or old, you would have been bound to use emojis in casual conversations and in corporate settings. People who have used emojis in conversations feel that it helps them to overcome language barriers, appear more approachable as well as their thoughts and ideas according to a report done by Adobe. 

Nonetheless, emojis helps to make tone and intent obvious in interactions help to minimize any potential misunderstandings and helps to create a layer of the human touch that we might have lost through physical interactions. Emojis too acts as a display of honesty as they give others the impression that you are honest and approachable according to a study done by New Media. For instance, you are in a situation whereby you need help with some of the work and your colleague’s response is ‘’Sure, I’ll help you with this.’’ The tone might sound like that they are annoyed and unapproachable. So instead, your colleague replies to you with: ‘’ Sure, I’ll help you with this 😀’’, it sounds sincere and makes you feel better.

With most of us are working remotely and we don’t often meet our colleagues in person, we found ourselves often using emojis in online business conversations and virtual meetings where there is a lack of nonverbal cues such as body language and facial expression where we often only have access to when communicating with one another face to face. Emojis can be used to convey emotion, emphasis, and tone nuance, which results in forming a stronger connection with one another. It helps to defuse any stressful situations and show empathy when one of your colleagues needs it. 

Emojis in Virtual Communication Platforms

With the recent proliferation of Emojis usage in corporate settings, many virtual and video conferencing applications have adopted and added Emoji in one of their features. Not only do users get to use Emojis in virtual chats, but they can use them in virtual video conferencing meetings too. For instance, Zoom, a video-conferencing application that has skyrocketed during the pandemic, now allows users to react to conversations, ideas or even discussions in their virtual video conferencing meetings by clicking the ‘Reactions’ button found at the bottom. These emojis will be displayed on the participant’s video and in the participant’s list for 10 seconds. Meeting participants can choose a wide range of Emojis however, the host of the meeting can restrict emoji reactions up to six, and for those larger accounts, the full emoji set can be manually added by admins or account owners. Not forgetting the raise hand feature that Zoom has, it allows meeting participants to voice out their opinion, without interrupting the speaker. 

All in all, we can’t deny that Emojis do help to supplement the lack of nonverbal cues and keeps virtual chats and meetings lively. However, one must still be careful with the Emoji they used as not all emojis are appropriate in corporate settings and are not used to replace words but only to enhance them. While there are many Emojis to choose from, nobody wants to spend the time to decipher the meaning of the Emoji reaction in meetings or chats during a hectic workday. At the end of the day, we must remember to use the right Emoji in corporate settings because if used unwisely, they can cause confusion to others and might tarnish one’s reputation.

“Chào Paul! Hãy gửi cho mình báo cáo Marketing ngày hôm nay nhé! 😀’’

“Hey Polly, Chúc mừng bạn đã được thăng chức! 🎉 🥂!  Bạn xứng đáng với chức vụ đó đấy!’’

“Mình hơi bận hôm nay 😔, bạn giúp mình vụ thuyết trình này nhé?”

Nếu bạn đang đọc bài viết này, bạn có thể là một trong những người sống và sử dụng ngôn ngữ Emoji, hoặc bạn có thể là người đã bắt gặp một đồng nghiệp gửi cho họ những tin nhắn chứa đầy những biểu tượng vô hại này. Khi tham gia sử dụng Biểu tượng cảm xúc, chắc hẳn bạn đang tự hỏi làm thế nào Biểu tượng cảm xúc trở thành một hình thức biểu đạt trong môi trường doanh nghiệp và cách các biểu tượng này thay đổi cách chúng ta giao tiếp trực tuyến?

Từ Emoji có nguồn gốc từ tiếng Nhật – ‘E’ là hình ảnh, ‘Mo’ là viết tắt và ‘Ji’ là viết tắt của chữ cái hoặc ký tự. Thuật ngữ Emoji xuất hiện vào năm 1997 trên điện thoại di động Nhật Bản và kể từ đó, chúng ngày càng trở nên phổ biến trên toàn thế giới sau khi nó được thêm vào các hệ điều hành di động khác như Apple và Android.

Biểu tượng cảm xúc đã trở thành một hiện tượng văn hóa – nó đã định hình cách chúng ta thể hiện ý tưởng và cảm xúc của mình qua các ngôn ngữ với đồng nghiệp, bạn bè và gia đình. Dù già hay trẻ, bạn đều phải sử dụng biểu tượng cảm xúc trong các cuộc trò chuyện thông thường và trong môi trường công ty. Những người đã sử dụng biểu tượng cảm xúc trong các cuộc trò chuyện cảm thấy rằng nó giúp họ vượt qua rào cản ngôn ngữ, dễ gần hơn cũng như suy nghĩ và ý tưởng của họ, theo một báo cáo do Adobe thực hiện.

Tuy nhiên, Emojis giúp làm cho giai điệu và ý định rõ ràng trong các tương tác, giúp giảm thiểu mọi hiểu lầm tiềm ẩn và giúp tạo ra một lớp liên lạc của con người mà chúng ta có thể đã đánh mất thông qua các tương tác vật lý. Biểu tượng cảm xúc cũng hoạt động như một biểu hiện của sự trung thực vì chúng tạo cho người khác ấn tượng rằng bạn là người trung thực và dễ gần theo một nghiên cứu được thực hiện bởi New Media. Ví dụ: bạn đang ở trong một tình huống mà bạn cần giúp đỡ một số công việc và câu trả lời của đồng nghiệp của bạn là ” Chắc chắn rồi, tôi sẽ giúp bạn việc này. ” Vì vậy, thay vào đó, đồng nghiệp của bạn trả lời bạn bằng: ‘’ Chắc chắn rồi, tôi sẽ giúp bạn việc này 😀 ’’, điều này nghe có vẻ chân thành và khiến bạn cảm thấy dễ chịu hơn.

Hiện nay khi hầu hết chúng ta đang làm việc từ xa và chúng ta không thường xuyên gặp gỡ trực tiếp đồng nghiệp của mình, chúng ta nhận thấy mình thường sử dụng biểu tượng cảm xúc trong các cuộc trò chuyện kinh doanh trực tuyến và các cuộc họp ảo khi thiếu các tín hiệu phi ngôn ngữ như ngôn ngữ cơ thể và nét mặt ở nơi chúng ta thường chỉ có quyền truy cập khi giao tiếp trực tiếp với nhau. Biểu tượng cảm xúc có thể được sử dụng để truyền đạt cảm xúc, sự nhấn mạnh và sắc thái giọng điệu, điều này dẫn đến việc hình thành một kết nối mạnh mẽ hơn với nhau. Nó giúp xoa dịu mọi tình huống căng thẳng và thể hiện sự đồng cảm khi một trong những đồng nghiệp của bạn cần.

Emojis trong nền tảng giao tiếp ảo

Với sự gia tăng gần đây của việc sử dụng Emojis trong cài đặt công ty, nhiều ứng dụng hội nghị truyền hình và ảo đã áp dụng và thêm Emojis vào một trong các tính năng của mình. Người dùng không chỉ sử dụng Emojis trong các cuộc trò chuyện ảo mà còn có thể sử dụng chúng trong các cuộc họp hội nghị truyền hình ảo. Ví dụ: Zoom, một ứng dụng hội nghị truyền hình đã tăng vọt trong thời kỳ đại dịch, giờ đây cho phép người dùng bộc lộ cảm xúc trong các cuộc trò chuyện, ý tưởng hoặc thậm chí là các cuộc thảo luận trong các cuộc họp hội nghị truyền hình ảo của họ bằng cách nhấp vào nút ‘ Reactions’ ở phía dưới. Những biểu tượng cảm xúc này sẽ được hiển thị trên video của người tham gia và trong danh sách của người tham gia trong 10 giây. Những người tham gia cuộc họp có thể chọn nhiều Emojis, tuy nhiên, người chủ trì cuộc họp có thể giới hạn phản ứng biểu tượng cảm xúc lên đến sáu và đối với những tài khoản lớn hơn, bộ biểu tượng cảm xúc đầy đủ có thể được thêm theo cách thủ công bởi quản trị viên hoặc chủ sở hữu tài khoản. Không quên tính năng giơ tay mà Zoom có, nó cho phép những người tham gia cuộc họp nói lên ý kiến ​​của họ mà không làm gián đoạn người nói.

Nhìn chung, chúng ta không thể phủ nhận rằng Emojis giúp bổ sung sự thiếu hụt các tín hiệu phi ngôn ngữ và giữ cho các cuộc trò chuyện và cuộc họp ảo trở nên sống động. Tuy nhiên, người ta vẫn phải cẩn thận với các Emojis mà họ đã sử dụng vì không phải tất cả các biểu tượng cảm xúc đều phù hợp trong cài đặt công ty và không được sử dụng để thay thế các từ mà chỉ để nâng cao chúng. Mặc dù có rất nhiều Biểu tượng cảm xúc để lựa chọn, nhưng không ai muốn dành thời gian để giải mã ý nghĩa của các Emojis trong các cuộc họp hoặc trò chuyện trong một ngày làm việc bận rộn. Vì vậy, chúng ta phải nhớ sử dụng đúng Emojis trong cài đặt công ty vì nếu sử dụng không cẩn thận, chúng có thể gây nhầm lẫn cho người khác và có thể làm giảm uy tín của một người.
