Effective Business Writing On-Site Training

Improve written organization and clarity to make the most of the time spent on writing assignments

Course Description/Agenda

Baker’s practice driven workshop improves participant’s ability to write in
English and increase chances for gaining a clear concise message. Almost all
professionals spend 15-20% of their time writing emails, memos, letters and
reports. Baker’s One-Day Business Writing Solutions workshop helps improve
written organization and clarity to make the most of the time spent on writing
assignments.

Participants learn to convey ideas and information with clarity and precision
in memos, letters, reports and other business correspondence. A personalized
approach to writing based on identifying the audience driven needs enables a
clear concise message to be delivered. Participants critique their own writing
styles and identify strengths and areas for improvement. They then practice
making these necessary changes in classroom practice exercises. Practice focuses
on proven writing techniques. This workshop guarantees an improvement in
communication skills and, as a result, increases in productivity and job
satisfaction.

Business Writing Training Feedback:

"I got a lot out of the business writing workshop with Paula. It was well
worth it, and I now have some useful information on how to improve my writing. I
also appreciate all the time that Paula spent with me to review individual
writing samples. She answered all my questions and showed no sign that of a rush
to leave once the rest of the group finished. Thank you for your flexibility in
switching my dates for the workshop. I will keep Baker Communications in mind
for future professional development opportunities."
