Course Overview
The past 15 years have seen an explosion in the volume and type of communication channels at home and in the workplace. In the commercial context, individuals are now expected to be able to communicate effectively in person, by telephone, Zoom, Skype, Teams, email, reports, in presentations, webinars – not to mention the plethora of social media platforms.
COVID-19 has changed the working environment – many more people are working remotely and organizations and teams need to bridge any real or perceived communication gaps that this may present.
