HR’s Warped Reality: When Policies Don’t Align with People-First Values
When Paramore sang “I’m in the business of misery” I didn’t realize they also worked in HR…
Let’s take it from the top:
Government policies are changing faster than I can say Dear Maria, Count Me In.
HR teams are left in The Middle to reconcile these policies with their people-first values.
And they might be wondering if Sugar, We’re Goin Down?
But rest assured, HR Therapy will MakeDamnSure you’re prepared to navigate this “Warped Reality.”
This month HR Therapy will tackle:
✅What to do when new policies contradict your company’s employee-first commitments
✅How HR leaders can advocate for employees despite external pressures
✅Strategies for upholding workplace inclusion amid national divisiveness
✅Preparing for legal vs. ethical challenges in the future of work
Check Yes, Juliet and join us for this month’s HR Therapy.
Sometimes you also just need a chance to take a break from this all AND potentially scream it out… my love for pop punk runs deep so I asked my friends at Hibob to help a gal and her friends out.
