HR Hot Topics – October, 2020: Trump vs. Biden – The Risk of Politics in the Workplace
October 13, 2020Welcome to the October edition of HR Hot Topics - a monthly video message from me, Jodi Schafer, that contains employment law updates and human resources tips to make you the most effective leader you can be. We strive for this to be the 'most informative 5 minutes of your month'! The 2020 presidential election is 3 weeks away and the stakes are high! This vote may be one of the most emotionally charged in recent history and regardless of which end of the political spectrum you full on, it is clear that people are willing to go to great lengths to see their candidate win. In an environment such as this, political conversations are bound to carry over into the workplace. Healthy, respectful discourse is not a bad thing, but given the divisive nature of this year’s election, these conversations have a high probability of becoming heated, derogatory attacks – thus opening your business up to the potential loss of customers/patients and employees, or in worst case scenarios, lawsuits.
As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach me directly via email at JodiSchafer@workwithHRM.com. To learn more about our consulting service and training opportunities, spend some time on our company website at www.workwithHRM.com, our YouTube channel and our online training portal, www.hrhazmat.com. Make your voice heard on November 3rd!
