Business writing has always been important to communicating effectively, but it is even more important now as more people use email as their primary means of written communication at work. Although it offers speed and simplicity email also presents the hazard of miscommunication and "missed communication,” often with unintended results.
This workshop will cover the basic principles and practices for effective business writing, no matter what medium you use. You'll review commonsense practices organized into a process that will enable you to be a good writer. You'll be introduced to the steps of the process and then have a chance to try them out. You'll then focus on the particular issues involved with email communication. You'll look at how business-writing principles apply to email and how email differs from other approaches. You'll determine when to use email and when not to, how to express yourself so you'll be understood, and what to avoid in email communication.
If possible, bring examples of business writing and/or email communication from work to use during some of the workshop exercises.
