Business internal correspondence: Staff training
If you're an employer, you'll already know how important staff training is, and how vital keeping complete records of related correspondence can become.

The risk of creating a lot of admin work is very real, and very unproductive. Duplication of materials is expensive, and not very efficient.
The simplest way to handle the training correspondence is to create a One Size Fits All system:
Staff are advised of training requirements and opportunities on a standard format letter, usually a macro.
A file is created to track issue of information, and records to whom it was issued, and when.
A standard record is created of training for each staff member, also a macro. This record is attached to the personnel file.
There are in effect only two basic documents.

Example:
Letter to staff regarding training opportunities:
