Business Writing Skills

Through technology everyone in the workplace has become a writer and writing is a highly visible skill. Most organisations produce an increasing amount of written communication in the form of emails, reports, proposals, and websites. When you send an email or other written communication, it is out there for people to see, so the communication must be clear, concise, and easy to digest. Good business writing saves time and money. It prevents mistakes and helps solve problems. It bridges time zones and culture gaps, connecting people.
