Hello all Ellis and Ellis Consulting staff,
As you know, I've been trying to find a way to improve efficiency here in the office and asked you to complete a survey providing your suggestions. — [1] —. For instance, a number of employees have expressed the desire to take more professional development classes so they can add to their skills. And at the same time, I have noticed that we have had to hire graphic designers on a very regular basis. — [2] —. When it comes to very big projects, like Web site design or creating our annual report, this seems appropriate, but in many cases, we are hiring them to do an hour of work that one of our own employees could probably do with a little training. — [3] —.
Consequently, I am considering organizing a short course on basic graphic design skills for any employees who are interested. — [4] —. This would allow us to use in-house skills for smaller design projects in the future. If this sounds like something you would like to participate in, please respond to this e-mail and let me know before April 20.
Best wishes,
Brendon Rogerson
Human Resources Director, Ellis and Ellis Consulting
