TRAINING OVERVIEW
In all business situations—business-to-business , business-to-client and inter-office—writing is the main form of communication. Does your team continually find their message gets ‘lost in translation’ amongst a chain of emails? Are customers constantly in touch because they are confused about how things work? Are the daily missives sent by your team to colleagues, customers, partners and suppliers helping or hindering the growth of your organisation?
The skill of writing well is as important as ever. WeTrain’s Writing To Inform In Business will ensure that your team’s writing—whether in emails, reports, press releases, project plans, agenda, minutes, memos, briefing papers or any other information—creates a positive and lasting impact.
The skills and training within the course will help attendees to structure and plan writing, adopt an appropriate tone and use the correct grammar and punctuation.
WeTrain’s style of delivery is interactive, engaging and fun. We encourage participation to make the training dynamic and enjoyable for all attendees.

HOW IS THE COURSE DELIVERED?
WeTrain’s ‘Writing To Inform In Business’ course is generally presented as an engaging, interactive and fun one-day program, however we can tailor the content to present a shorter session for conferences and events.
To ensure your training is relevant to your organisation and circumstances, we undertake an initial consultation, where we assess the skill level of your attendees, address your desired outcomes and find out valuable information about your company and its current set-up.
Remember, it’s your course, so you get to decide where it takes place. We are happy to teach WeTrain’s Business Writing program either from your workplace or a venue of your choice.
CONVENIENT TRAINING AT YOUR PREMISES OR virtually online
WeTrain offers the flexibility to conduct training sessions conveniently at your premises or virtually online, ensuring a seamless and accessible learning experience tailored to your needs.
WHAT ARE IDEAL COURSE NUMBERS?
Our courses are typically ‘hands-on’, so we suggest keeping numbers to a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 12 people. This allows our trainer to interact with your entire team yet still have enough time to allow for one-to-one interactions.
If your group exceeds 12, we will happily structure your training program to meet the needs of a larger audience. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

What are examples of harassment?
Harassment can manifest in various forms including verbal, physical, or psychological abuse. Examples include unwanted sexual advances, derogatory comments, and creating a hostile work environment. Our Anti-Bullying and Harassment course covers how to identify these behaviours and effectively address them.
What is an example of an anti-bullying policy?
An anti-bullying policy generally outlines unacceptable behaviours, reporting mechanisms, and consequences for perpetrators. Our Anti-Bullying and Harassment course provides guidance on how to formulate and implement such policies effectively, ensuring a safer workplace for everyone.
What is the most common type of harassment?
Sexual harassment is often cited as the most common type, but verbal and online harassment are also prevalent. In our Anti-Bullying and Harassment course, we explore various types of harassment and offer strategies for prevention and response, suitable for any workplace setting.
What are the effects of anti-bullying programs?
Effective anti-bullying programs can drastically reduce instances of harassment, improve workplace culture, and enhance overall productivity. We measure the success of our Anti-Bullying and Harassment course through case studies and feedback, ensuring that it makes a tangible impact.
How can we prevent harassment in workplaces?
Preventing harassment starts with creating a culture of respect and accountability. Our Anti-Bullying and Harassment course teaches employees and managers alike how to recognise signs of harassment and act promptly to mitigate it. We also delve into preventive measures like bystander training and anonymous reporting channels.
What is the best defence against harassment?
The best defence is a proactive approach that includes education, policy implementation, and creating a culture of zero tolerance. Our Anti-Bullying and Harassment course equips you with the tools you need to establish these preventive measures effectively.
