Scrubbing up on English skills

Carly

Hi 

I currently work in HR and have done for about 8 months now, two months ago I started my CIPD level 3, all is going well (passed the first unit today!) 

I just had a 121 with my line manager, who has told me my communication could be a show stopper in my career and is what could stop me to making it as an HR manager, which has left me rather disheartened. To me, my grammar and written English has been a little over average, clearly to my employer it is not. He would like me to explore how I 'write' better and produce documents. 

Does anyone have any advice or know of a good book I can read to better my skills? 

Many thanks 

Carly

  • It really depends on what your manager means by it! Can they give you some examples, or edit one of your documents to illustrate what they are wanting to you to do? Was it grammar or style? Style is very subjective, and also variable depending on who you are writing for as the reader.

    You can do all the learning in the world but if you don't know what you're aiming at, you can't know where to do with it.
