Why you need Report Writing
Nothing much happens without a report to prepare and reports to update and review. Effective decision-making requires good information and reports that are focused on the readers’ needs (rather than the writer’s interest) will support the process.
Why is it good
Report Writing follows the process of writing a report from preparation, through planning to writing. It uses an example report and at each stage, participants then work on their own to ensure the learning is relevant for all. Questions are welcome throughout the day, detailed reference handouts are provided and trainer-support is available after the course.
Writing a report can be time-consuming, frustrating and be viewed as a necessary evil by most staff and with horror by some. As a result, those who have to read the reports are faced with documents that are poorly structured and not suited to their needs. This course will help delegates plan and structure a report, presenting information in a form which will be easily understood by the reader. Through improving the quality and reducing the time taken, reports can be viewed with more enthusiasm by reader and writer alike.
