In the article “The Importance of Good Writing Skills in the Workplace” Renee talks about the difference between a fifth graders writing and a professionals writing. Now in the professional work force writing is a communication. It includes emails, notes, texts, and even tweets. Most time in the work force is spend communicating with one person or groups of people at a time, so it is essential to obtain a great vocabulary and credibility.

This article has a lot to offer. It talks about how to communicate in a more effective way at the workplace. It states ideas like being more precise and to the point with questions or instructions or anything that needs to be addressed in the workplace. I believe that anybody can find this article helpful. If people are having trouble with communication in the workplace they just have to learn to become more clear and precise in the communication and not be so vague. Also, you can’t be afraid to open your colleagues to your opinions on things like products, in my opinion. I feel as though if employees are as open with what they believe in that communication will be more effective.

The Workplace Communication Gap That No One is Talking about

It takes a progressive and forward-looking leader to spot this trend toward organizations needing to adapt to more real-time feedback processes. The good news is that there are resources available to help steer you and manage the shift. Josh Bersin, the Deloitte analyst, maps the trend and core players in his recent Forbes article: "Quantified Self: Meet Quantified Employee." The bad news is that our organizational feedback processes are entrenched by habit and woven into the fabric of core business processes. You have to be courageous to try something new.
