V času praznikov in pričakovanja novega leta je izkazovanje hvaležnosti ter lepih želja stalnica tako v zasebnem kot tudi v poslovnem življenju. Čestitke in voščilnice v fizični ali elektronski obliki so odlično orodje za deljenje lepih misli, predvsem pa za ohranjanje dobrih (poslovnih in osebnih) odnosov ter pozitivne komunikacije znotraj različnih družbenih struktur.
Pri pisanju osebnih voščil svojim prijateljem ali družinskim članom načeloma nimamo večjih težav, razen da nas morda po nekaj deset napisanih čestitkah lahko zgrabi krč v zapestju. Ko moramo napisati podobno sporočilo v poslovnem jeziku – še zlasti v angleščini –, pa se lahko znajdemo v škripcih. Razlogi za to so različni. Tokrat se želim(o) posvetiti prav posebnemu ‘trdemu orehu’, ki preži na vse pisce novoletnih oziroma prazničnih sporočil – politični korektnosti.
Nevtralna uporaba jezika je v zadnjih nekaj letih postala eden izmed nepogrešljivih elementov poslovne komunikacije. Zaradi kulturne raznolikosti, ki je značilna za veliko večino tuje govorečih delovnih okolij, je pomembno, da se v uradnih voščilih izogibamo uporabi izrazito verskih, politično usmerjenih ali kulturno obarvanih izrazov. To pomeni, da določena voščila, npr. ‘We wish you a blessed Christmas’, za nazivanje zaposlenih, strank in sodelavcev ne pridejo več v poštev.
Kaj torej storiti in kako se lotiti pisanja voščil ter izražanja lepih želja v angleščini? Preprosto. S pomočjo tega zapisa, seveda! Pri LanguageSitterju® smo se odločili, da vam olajšamo delo in vas naučimo nekaj fraz, ki bodo naslovnikom predale lepe želje in ogrele sleherno srce – ne glede na spol, versko in/ali politično prepričanje ali kulturno pripadnost.

Če želite sporočilom dodati bolj oseben pridih, lahko vanje brez težav vključite še kakšno frazo ali stavek po lastnem navdihu. Naš splošni pozdrav lahko na primer zamenjate z bolj specifičnim ali osebnim; ali pa dodate želje in zahvale, ki zadevajo prav osebe, ki jim pišete.
Za kakršnokoli različico zgornjih sporočil se boste odločili, ste lahko brez skrbi, da bodo razveselile prejemnike, mi pa se vam zahvaljujemo za zaupanje ter vam želimo lepe praznike in uspešno novo leto.
