Writing effective messages to your coworkers, your manager, and your company higher-ups is different from regulatory writing. But it’s even more crucial. During this interactive workshop, you will learn strategies to craft effective and concise messages that help you get work done. You will see, with examples, how to format and organize your message to ensure your audience focuses on what you need them to know. Additionally, you will learn how to use apps and programs that help you write better regardless of your writing ability or experience.
This workshop is part of the RAPS Certificate in Effective Communication. Complete all five workshops to get an education in the key elements of regulatory communication — and a certificate to prove it.
