Business Writing: how to increase your impact with less effort

31 March 2023      Rachel Ward, Learning and Development Manager

As knowledge workers, we’re part of a ‘decision factory’ that deals in information. We literally work with words – thinking, analysing, absorbing, reporting, advising. Yet too few people continue to develop their writing skills once they hit the working world.

How confident are you about getting your message across? Not just hoping that people get to the end of your email or report. But knowing that your readers are clear what steps they need to take next. Because that’s what business writing is all about: helping others to make decisions or take action.

When you improve your writing ability, your communications have more impact – becoming easier to absorb and act on. And you become less stressed and gain more time for the rest of your role.

In this new training session you will cover how to:

  • target the audience, providing an appropriate level of detail
  • structure documents using top-down thinking
  • improve readability by using simpler words
  • split sentences into individual thoughts
  • write in the active, not passive, voice to create a relationship on the page
  • use a suitable tone of voice
  • avoid grammar mishaps.

In addition to the online course, each delegate gets a 1-1 online feedback session with the facilitator to work on a specific docoument in real time.
