Written communication skills are essential criteria in many workplaces across all industries, especially those which are office based. Specific examples include report writing, completing forms, developing instructions or procedures, providing written quotes and corresponding formally.
For some people the ability to write, either by hand or using a keyboard can be difficult, especially for those with vision impairment or a physical disability that affects the capacity to use the hands.
If a worker has or develops difficulty expressing themselves by written means, it can impact on their work performance and success within the workplace.
