HR Communication and the Semicolon

Jan 15

When in doubt, use the semicolon; the average reader won’t understand its use and will give you credit for erudition.
–Denis Smith, high school counselor, Camarillo, California (on Rules of Thumb)

When you communicate with employees, skip the semicolon. Write short sentences. Tell the truth.

Your HR communication lesson is over.
