Best Practices for Developing Policies and Procedures
Technical communicators often write policies and procedure documents in collaboration with administrative staff. In most cases, administrative staff also write policies and procedures, and technical communicators help make the language clearer and publish the documentation. Policies and procedures projects always involve people at every level of an organization given the nature of the content, and this creates a variety of challenges uncommon in other types of communication projects.
In this webinar, Cheryl Landes, Technical Communications Consultant and Owner of Tabby Cat Communications, will share best practices from working with a wide range of companies on policies and procedures projects.
You will learn:
• The unique challenges of policy and procedure projects and how to overcome them
• How to plan and organize policy and procedure projects
• How to work with employees at all levels of a company
• How to produce policies and procedures effectively, regardless of project size

I want to take a specific course that isn't listed online. Will it be offered in the future?
STC rotates its courses every year as we try to offer the most popular ones within the first half of the year. Online courses are subject to change or are offered more than once per quarter. If a course is not listed, STC will offer it again in the following year.
