Workplace Application:
You will learn prudent HR decision-making, the practical aspects of responding to a scandal and ways to reduce legal exposure.
Our culture loves a scandal. We watch intently as high-flying executives, politicians, reality show celebrities, athletes and pop icons soar to temporary fame, but then we are mightily intrigued by their crash. Mismanagement and clumsy crisis response often are to blame. This session will certainly entertain ... but, more important, it will also teach key concepts of prudent HR management by extracting time-tested and valuable lessons from the well-publicized mistakes of others. In this session, you will:
- Learn best practices for managing and reinforcing your organization’s core values.
- Learn how to spot issues, evaluate exposure and take effective remedial action when conducting internal investigations.
- Learn how to respond to scandals and disasters in a prudent and legally compliant manner.
