ISO has very recently released the International Standard for Plain Language Writing, and it's a great way to make sure your team's documents are user friendly!

𝘿𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙙𝙤𝙘𝙨 𝙢𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨?

🤔 The standard looks at the following key questions:: Can readers: - easily 𝙜𝙚𝙩 what they need? - easily 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 what they need? - easily 𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙 what they find? - easily 𝙪𝙨𝙚 the information?

If you answer yes to all 4 questions, great job for creating an ISO-compliant plain language document!

👏 If you answer no to 1 or more, or haven't thought about it before, not to worry!

Plain Language Writing is a skill, and it's something I can help you with. Look out for announcements for an upcoming challenge on Plain Language Writing very soon!
