Synopsis

Workplace Communications is the first brief, less theory-intensive text that focuses on the fundamentals of workplace communication specifically intended for applied writing courses in community colleges and similar settings.

 

Written in a conversational style and featuring a clean, uncluttered page layout, Workplace Communications is designed to be accessible.   The high quantity of examples, illustrations, and exercises emphasize practical applications to ensure the text is user-friendly.  Workplace Communications is an ideal text to bridge business communication and technical communication courses.
