Don’t Hire Joe Cocker for Your HR Communication
Posted on Thursday, June 26, 2008 by Frank RocheJoe Cocker is a great singer, but, man, his articulation is abysmal. Check out the video above to see what I mean. (It’s also one of the funniest videos I’ve ever seen.)
Your HR communications need to be clear. Think Frank Sinatra, not Joe Cocker. You want your employees to understand the words, not make up words of their own. Misunderstood lyrics are funny, but they sure as heck are ineffective.
