Webinar recap: Plain Language for Employers

Since Accessibility Standards Canada published its plain language standard in 2025, you may have been wondering, is plain language only an issue for your Comms team?

Untapped would make the argument that plain language practices can benefit any department, especially HR and Recruitment functions. Human Resources and Recruitment teams can use plain language techniques to improve job postings, interview questions, and policies.

In our June 18 webinar on plain language for employers, we explored the connection between plain language principles, recruitment, and workplace communications. For this practical, hands-on workshop, registrants brought an example of their organizations’ recruitment communications to work on during the session. After a high level overview of plain lanaguge principles, participants worked independently to apply the concepts discussed.

Watch the webinar recording to get practical takeaways that apply to any organization thinking about how they communicate with candidates and employees. You can also download the slides and the transcript.
