Tips on developing a more engaging writing style for HR projects

Hi everyone, 

I am looking for recommendations of books, workbooks or courses for myself. My writing style is matter of fact & I am looking to develop a more creative and engaging style as I am taking on more engagement, recruitment and value add HR projects. 

Thank you

  • Hi Laura,

    This is such a lovely question to raise! I haven't got much to add to the already excellent suggestions apart from possibly just being sure that you're speaking in your employee's language. Be mindful of using terms that are meaningful to a HR crowd but are confusing or off-putting to the people you're trying to reach i.e. using 'compensation' or 'reward' when people are thinking 'pay' or 'salary' is an easy example that leaps to mind but I'm sure there are others. By just making simple changes with that kind of thing, you might find that it relaxes your style a little.

    Good luck!
