TALK SHOW EPISODE NOTESOur HR HEROES HANGOUT™ series is dedicated to the unsung heroes that ensure that organizations achieve and sustain maximum human capital competitive advantage! In this episode our topic is, “Harassment free workplace?! The easy way to create one?!”
HR is a glamorous and exciting field (it really is) where every single aspect of an organization is addressed. It deals with money (compensation, promotions, benefits, etc.), power (promotions, etc.) and respect (the concept of being valued). Our HR HEROES understand that they are not a peripheral “administrative” entity but are instead the very heart of the organization! Is a workplace free from illegal harassment (in the USA based on gender, age over 40, race, color, religion, national origin, disability, veterans status, etc.) even possible? Is it a realistic goal for HR professionals, executives, managers and staff? Is harassment an issue in workplaces only in the USA? Or, is it a global issue (in Europe, Asia, North America, South America, etc.)? I address this international report in the show and encourage you to access it (http://www.jil.go.jp/english/reports/documents/jilpt-reports/no.12.pdf). We all deserve to be treated with respect in our workplaces no matter where we are on the planet! It is a reasonable (and I would argue) expected goal for our HR Heroes to ensure that everyone (from the most senior executive through the newest staff member, clients, customers, vendors, and members of the public) are free from harassment at their workplace. How is the goal of a harassment free workplace easily obtained? What steps are taken? What is required by the organizational leadership? Let’s explore what this issue actually is and how our HR Heroes will take action to provide all of their constituencies are treated with respect (and without harassment)! Do You Want To Be A HR Hero? NOTE: I recently had a very impressive meeting with one of the leading HR compliance firms in the US (in business since 1984)! The firm operates HRdirect, G.Neil, PosterTracker, TrackSmart!, eFile4biz.com and other HR related solutions. You will recognize many of these HR solutions in our Show Sponsor Spotlight below. One of the most important and impressive aspects of this firm is that they reached out to our website and our show! We had submitted our site to be considered for their approval for advertising via an affiliate network and their executive took the time to compliment our community (that's you) and our content (noting this HR HEROES HANGOUT series and even our site SPONSOR SHOWCASE)! I spent an hour in the meeting discussing HR in general and their firm expertise specifically. They have US federal and multi-state postings, forms, compliance solutions (many in English and Spanish)! They also have select materials for Canadian firms. I look forward to partnering with them to provide you the most up-to-date and powerful tools to ensure that you are (and/ or continue to be) an HR HERO at your organization! I know that HR may appear to be an overwhelming field at the outset and is never a profession where you can rest on your past knowledge. There are a multitude of new laws, new court rulings and new business practices to learn and adjust to (but you are never bored in this field)! I encourage you to access their solutions through the links below and support them as they are supporting us. Thank you! |
