More than half the jobs in the United States today require writing, but many workers lack the skills needed to communicate effectively. Poor communication costs your organization and your customers time and money.

Plain language is a philosophy of communication. The first time your readers go through your material, they should be able to

• find what they need,
• understand it, and
• use it to fulfill their needs.
