How do you think learning report writing help you in your future work?

Learning report writing now will help me in future as I am going to likely have to write lots of reports. While I know how to write, I do not know exactly how to write a proper business report. Learning this skill now will help me to write better reports in the future by showing me what I may need to improve on.

What do you think will change with report writing due to increased remote work environments?

I can see report writing becoming both easier and more difficult. It will be easier as you do have more time and freedom to work on it, you can work on it at your pace somewhat easier. The difficulty comes in if you are working in a team. It is more difficult to communicate with one another as you can really only do it electronically. Thus it is a bit harder to get an immediate response if you absolutely need one, the person could be away from their phone or not at their computer for instance.

1a. How do you think learning report writing help you in your future work?

-Learning report writing could help me in my future work because much of the information cycling through organizations come from reports. The information that companies and organizations rely on to operate efficiently are most likely coming from reports and they need to be done correctly for the information to reach the right people. Being skilled in report writing would also give me and advantage over someone who could not convey information the same way I could be able to.

2. What do you think will change with report writing due to increased remote work environments?

-I think report writing will change by becoming more of a requirement for managers to learn if not employees as well. It is a very important thing for managers and employees to be able to share information with each other and report writing makes this possible. I think that report writing may become a requirement when applying to remote jobs since employers will be looking for work-from-home employees that have that skill. It can help make an organization run much more smoothly if the people working in it know how to write reports effectively.
