Corporate Consulting
The high costs of poor email communication are well documented in productivity research. Businesses that train their staff in email communication save both time and money. Staff need training because many people have poor skills in professional email writing. Unfortunately, long-winded dense email texts are the norm rather than the exception. We provide email training and also consult on corporate email policies and procedures. We customize our consulting to serve the needs of your company. Our clients include businesses that communicate in English by email.
