Business and Professional Communication: People, Context, and Purpose, First Edition is designed to prepare students to work within an evolving landscape. The constant improvements in technology, an increasingly global workforce, a movement to remote work, and an increasing awareness of improving diversity and inclusivity are the hallmarks of our future of work. Authors Curtis Newbold and Jessie Lynn Richards utilize their combined backgrounds in communication and business to emphasize how interpersonal, written, visual, and digital forms of communication need to be considered within every document, meeting, and presentation with inclusion and accessibility leading the way. Human-centeredness is at the heart of this book to encourage students to be more conscious, critical, creative, and ethical in the way they communicate at work and beyond.
