Content
While we exchange a lot of information orally, during meetings, phone calls or video-conferences, knowing how to write well in a professional context remains a valued skill. Firstly, because the written word remains, and secondly, because well-written documents avoid confusion, arouse interest and, ideally, encourage support. The key is to be able to write clearly and precisely, and to use the appropriate medium depending on the context, the intended purpose and the recipient. During this training on writing in a work setting, you will see how to analyze a text and how to structure it according to the goal. Although writing a memo does not follow the same rules as writing a report, it is still important to know and apply them to gain clarity and precision in all cases. Knowing how to write well at work facilitates understanding, contributes to the achievement of deliverables... and makes a good impression.
