BUSINESS WRITING

The frequency and informality of e-mail communications lead employees to believe that standard business writing guidelines have withered and gone away. Not so! Allow your employees to sharpen their writing of e-mails, as well as longer documents when necessary, by giving them a new perspective on the importance of all business communications.

What is our philosophy?

People learn to write better by . . .  reviewing their own writing in a structured way!

What is the training like?

Prior to each class, participants are asked to submit writing samples that represent all the various types of writing they do. The samples are used to diagnose areas of weakness. A customized class is then designed to meet the needs of these participants.

Class time is spent on topics that are dictated by the samples submitted. Small group work helps participants learn to evaluate their own writing, as well as that of their peers.

Participants enjoy the non-threatening classroom atmosphere, and appreciate the time to share ideas of what works and what doesn’t work with their colleagues. All too often, time for sharing is nonexistent during the regular workday.

We stress the importance of planning the message and doing final edit(s) to ensure that the message is effectively transmitted.
