Sample of best writing

This is an assignment, which I wrote for Professional Communication in Fanshawe
College.
Subject: Importance of accurate and effective communication
Dear Professor Townsend,
In response to your request of outlining four reasons of effective communication
in the workplace, the following according to me are:

Forming interpersonal relations: Effective communication helps in building

relationships with employees and customers. If an effective communication
system has one or more bad sectors, it can cause rifts in the business operation.

Motivating employees: Effective communication helps in motivating the

employees working in an organization. Thus, enables the employees to reach their
goals and solve various kinds of problems within the workplace. It will even
increase employees morale.

Expressing views at the workplace: While working in an organization it is more

likely to be in the position where making decisions would be important. Efficient
communication enables a person to express views successfully to customers or
colleagues.

Innovation and creativity: Efficient communication encourages innovation

within the work environment. More individuals will be encouraged to share their
ideas and views. Furthermore, these ideas will help the employees working in an
organization.

To summarize, effective communication has a large impact on the success of an

organization. Hence, forming interpersonal relations, motivating employees, expressing
views clearly, and introducing the idea of innovation and creativity plays a vital role in a
business success.
