"What Businesses Want and Need"
http://www.MyStudyHall.com
April 5, 2006
Most business owners do not have to be convinced
about the importance of good communication skills; one well-written statement or
one poorly constructed one can make a company rise or fall.
With e-mail circulating around the world, the person sitting at
a computer in
NoPlace, USA
, can influence what happens thousands of miles away.
Both employers and employees need to know how to produce
well- written PowerPoint presentations, letters to customers, e-commerce correspondence,
complaint letters, contracts, resumes, job applications, graphics, advertisements,
operation manuals, emergency procedure manuals, employee reviews, inventories,
arbitration agreements, employee handbooks, conflict resolutions, and discrimination
policies.
Employers and employees also need to make oral presentations
which are clear, effective, and correctly worded. Having a good command
of the English language provides presenters with confidence and peace of mind as
they are able to communicate effectively with the audience.
