The number one skill required in business, and mentioned most often by employers, is the ability to communicate: to listen, write, and speak effectively. Successful communication is critical to successful business.However, many young people have not learnt how to write clearly. This has not been through any fault of theirs - or their teachers. It has been a natural development from changes in educational policy which discouraged explicit instruction in grammar and punctuation.
Media reports indicate employers' growing concerns about the literacy levels of many of their employees. Too much valuable time is spent in checking sales letters, reports, manuals, and business correspondence to make sure that what is being written makes sense to the reader. In addition, employees are often unaware that there is a difference between formal and informal language, and that texting is inappropriate in business documentation .
Better Writing: Better Business™ offers
a solution to these problems. It begins with the basics, and in simple steps
teaches how to write in a way that is correct, clear, and appropriate for
