Effective Business Writing (Intermediate)

Overview

Communication is an innate ability people hone throughout their lives. Whether personal, social, or work related, people must adjust their communication skills to suit different individuals and different situations.

In the workplace, however, the ability to communicate effectively does not come easy for many. A lot of employees are, in fact, apprehensive and uncertain with their business writing skills. In a survey conducted by Forbes of 1,000 American office workers, 49% of their respondents have felt their productivity negatively affected by poor communication. While 42% have experienced an increase in their stress levels leading to lost professional confidence (Grey, n.d.). This study, though done in the United States, mirrors the same effects of poor workplace communication that Filipinos are faced with.

If you have taken measures to improve your business writing skills—checking grammar meticulously, crafting documents fastidiously, and proofreading diligently—but still feel unsatisfied with your current skillset, then it is time to level up.
