Guidelines for Producing Simple Written Communication in the Workplace
1. Determine Purpose and Audience
- Clearly identify the purpose of your communication (e.g., inform, request, persuade)
- Consider the audience and tailor your communication to their understanding
2. Use Clear and Concise Language
- Use simple vocabulary and short, direct sentences
- Avoid jargon and technical terms unless necessary
- Focus on conveying the essential information
3. Organize Your Message Logically
- Structure your communication in a logical order (e.g., introduction, body, conclusion)
- Use headings, subheadings, and bullet points for clarity
- Transition smoothly between paragraphs
4. Use Active Voice and Strong Verbs
- Write in active voice whenever possible (e.g., "I will complete the task" instead of "The task will be completed")
- Use precise and impactful verbs to convey your message clearly
5. Proofread Carefully
- Take the time to thoroughly proofread your communication for errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation
- Ask a colleague or supervisor to review it as well, if possible
6. Use Visual Aids
- If appropriate, incorporate charts, graphs, or images to enhance understanding and engagement
- Ensure visual aids are clear and relevant to the topic
7. Be Professional and Courteous
- Maintain a professional and respectful tone throughout your communication
- Use polite language and avoid inflammatory or offensive remarks
- Show appreciation to the recipient (e.g., "Thank you for your time")
