Business Writing Training

The problem of long-winded and overly complicated business writing and Email Etiquette Training continues to drain productivity. Billions of dollars of management time are spent preparing letters,memos, emails and reports - and few people stop to think about the cost of time wasted in reading material that is unclear or confusing. Hence, all employees should be given training that will enable them to write in clear and concise ways.
