Abstract

The article reports on the value of using common, easily understood terminology when communicating with workers. The author explains how using language that is too technical or legalistic to be understood by the workers leads to misunderstandings. The article presents the history of legalistic communications and discusses how simplifying and humanizing the contents of notices, handbooks, employee information and other documents can communicate messages better to the common worker.
