Communication
The pandemic has taught us many lessons. The lesson that simple language can ensure our messages are heard, understood and acted on keeps resonating. If plain language writing is a topic that interests you, see the resources at the Plain Language Association International.

Thank you to our fellow communication professionals for sharing some of these articles. While we’ve been absent from regularly posting to our site, we’re still very much on top of what is happening with employee and corporate communication. Besides our regular project work, COVID has increased our workload, but we are hoping to now get back to some sort of normal routine. The image, from our personal archive, made us think of “getting back on track”. It was taken in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with the famous Petronas Towers in the distance. Be well… Stay safe.
