Assessment of Business Training Performance

Your company privileges good communication skills. In fact, during their second year, all employees are sent to a four-month communication course. As part of your annual review, you must prepare a group-assessment that includes the assessment of your progress in the communication course as a group. Assume that your business communication course is the company's communication course and prepare the communications part of your group-assessment. The company expects this portion to be a page long.
