Proposal for a Workshop on Writing Skills
Proposal for a Workshop on Writing Skills.
A few days ago a dispute occurred that demoralized our staff members, and might have ultimately led to loss of profits at Vutek. This unfortunate incident was caused by a series of poorly written e-mails, and it could have been easily avoided if the personnel knew how to communicate more professionally. I believe that by sponsoring a workshop on writing skills Vutek will help our employees, and ultimately our company, avoid future communication mishaps.
How effectively we use memos or emails can impact the way coworkers, and our clientele, consider the quality of service our company provides. I recently attended a Skill Path Seminar, and I learned that the capability to communicate competently, and assertively with people, is the most important component for accomplishment in today's workplace, as well as the foundation for supportive, cooperative work, and personal relationships. Some of our employees have lacking communication and writing skills; there are complaints about their emails and memos, they come across as being extremely blunt, jumbling messages, or often lacking enough information to process a service call. The result of this is an underlying animosity among the rest of our staff members.
The possible repercussions of bad writing in our business can be catastrophic for both employees, and customers; it is obvious that members of our staff need to improve their communication, and writing skills as a matter of urgency. As Tyler (2005) explains in an article written in HR Magazine, "No matter whether the writer is a CEO, a sales manager or a customer service representative, poor communications can lead to loss of business."(p. #2).
