About this course
Learning and honing your business writing skills can have a positive impact on an individual’s career advancement. BUSINESS WRITING TRAINING COURSE will teach you effective channels of communication to make an organization run smoothly. Professional quality writing being sent through these channels improves productivity and the ability of all functional areas to work together. Particularly in an increasingly global workplace where collaboration is the norm.
Concision can be challenging because it’s a skill not emphasized in college. In academic writing, assignments often require a certain length. We have to fill ten pages, and we’re instructed to develop our writing and expand the concept. We earn good grades partially through the length and impressive language. Puffed-up language is rewarded.
No one in business wants a longer document. In business writing, the required skills are the ability to extract what is significant, synthesize, and write clearly.
In this age of text messaging, business communication increasingly comes in a shorthand fashion. Even email has a much less formal style in many companies than a letter. Taken to an extreme, this type of writing can seem lazy. If communication becomes too abrupt, the message it gives to the receiver will feel not important enough. Because the sender did not take the time to communicate in complete sentences or check spelling and grammar. Conversely, a carefully written email can be more impressive than a letter. Because it has the added element of rapid transmission. The receiver will feel important by the sender’s intention to make sure the message arrived quickly.
BUSINESS WRITING TRAINING COURSE will give you the skill to ensure that you are communicating effectively with your colleagues in the workplace. It evolves progressively thus your ability to understand and use tools that will help you become a better communicator should evolve too.
