Poor Writing Skill…Why Employers Are Worried
The Urgent Need for Strong Writing Skills
The steady decline in communication skills among young graduates has become a growing concern for employers.
A recent report by The State Press (Arizona State University) highlights this issue. But you don’t need a report to see it, a quick scroll through social media, forums, or blogs reveals just how widespread the problem is.
The casual tone of social media is creeping into professional spaces, weakening the foundation of effective workplace communication. And that’s dangerous. Here's why:
Clear writing equals clear thinking. It ensures your message is understood without confusion or misinterpretation. But when young professionals struggle to communicate their ideas, tasks, or projects in writing, employers are left questioning their readiness for the job.
Many young professionals struggle to draft a simple email, let alone proposals, business cases, or internal memos.
The good news? Poor writing isn’t a life sentence.
You can learn it. You can master it.
