To feel better about yourself. As your reading skills improve, you will find out the problems you had with reading were skills, not brains. You are smart enough to read, write, and spell well. You fell through the cracks of our teaching system.
To get a better job. If you learn to write so everyone can read it, less mistakes are made and blamed on YOU!
To get a raise. Fewer mistakes means your company has lesser costs from do-overs. As a part of that new bump in profits, you may ask for that raise!
To improve the way you talk. Improving reading and writing automatically improves speech and vocabulary. This will also give you a boost in job skills.
Now for some scary facts. There are people who believe that a person’s personality can be seen in their handwriting. The people who study handwriting for this are called graphologists. There is a growing movement in the USA for companies to have a prospective employee’s handwriting analyzed for good and bad personality traits. I found the paragraph below at:

With proper training, a graphologist can help people understand themselves and others better, help attorneys size up their clients or potential jurors, help law enforcement agents catch criminals and help employers who are looking to hire the best person for the job.
Don’t be a victim of Graphologists. Work on your handwriting.
