One must be very aware of what we do with it for not blessing anyone and, above all, not blessing the organization itself. This is why the organizations have tendency to avoid the use of this resource in their communication with their stakeholders. The prudence advices to keep our communication tone as much neutral, formal and aseptic as possible. But humor is a very powerful instrument in communication and it should not be avoided just because of the fear of possible accidents. In certain occasions, it could be even a good ally in our communicative necessities. How can its risks be minimized? The main objective of this work is to investigate the tools that can allow us getting advantage of the huge potential of the humor in corporate communication, with the maximum possible control of the risk.
