LANGUAGE Lab

Engaging Through Your Keyboard

In moving to a digital world, staff are left without the tools to engage in writing. It seems not to be taught in schools or in the workplace and is a gap for most. In particular, given the high illiteracy rates in Australia, knowing how to engage in emails and SMS is even more critical than ever before. Our workshops teach staff the basics of language, empathy, basic niceties, removing blame and keeping it simple.
