DECISIONS, DECISIONS: WHOSE SIDE DO YOU TAKE WHEN SENIOR MANAGEMENT BREAKS THE LAW?

I am speaking in Washington DC at the SHRM Law and Legislative conference the 2nd week of March. Here is a quick synapse of my presentation:

HR executives wear two hats daily: supporting executive management and advocating for employees. But what do you do when your executive team oversteps legal boundaries and it impacts your entire population? Do you stand behind management or protect your employees? What are the pitfalls? Will you be a casualty of doing the right thing? Are you the next American Apparel and Uber? Hear real-life examples of HR challenges when executive management goes rogue and asks for support from HR. Learn options to protect your employees and yourself from a practitioner’s perspective. In this session, you will:

·       Review the legal obligations that result from illegal or law-breaking activity.

·       Discuss remedies to go around your executive team to report inappropriate behavior or actions by senior management.

·       Learn tips to deal with the press if you are caught in the middle of a public situation involving inappropriate behavior.

I hope to see you there and if not in Las Vegas or Chicago later this spring as part of my LAST HR JEDI TOUR….
