Course Description
Intelligible and incisive communication between the secretaries and their manager/department is key for success! The majority of the secretary's daily work consists of communicating with other people, the majority being in writing. In order for them and their managers to be seen as professional, one of their main responsibilities is to make sure that all written communication being sent from their office possesses the right tone, is professional and flawless!
