Political and social issues are showing up at work more often. And with those added conversations comes an increase in situations HR teams and managers need to handle. While employees are encouraged to bring their different experiences and perspectives, employers still have a responsibility to provide a professional, productive, and legally compliant workplace.
In this webinar, we’ll discuss this fine line and how to think through political expression at work. You’ll leave with practical ways you can establish clear expectations for employee behavior and how to respond when issues appear.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:
Balance employee expression with business, culture, and compliance considerations.
Establish clear expectations for what is and isn't appropriate at work.
Equip managers to handle gray-area situations before they become employee relations issues.
