Joe Cocker is a great singer, but, man, his articulation is abysmal. Check out the video above (email readers will have to click the link) to see what I mean. It’s 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.
