Eliminate sexual harassment, unconscious bias, ethical lapses and
other HR nightmares!
Companies spend millions on legal compliance training and initiatives to
eliminate workplace drama and the resulting low morale and lawsuits, but
don't always get the results they want. Most organizations understand
that simply checking legal compliance boxes around sexual harassment,
bias, etc. isn't enough, but are at a loss on how to implement
solutions, especially in today's post-#MeToo world.
Patti Perez is an attorney, HR expert, trainer, and former state
regulator, who has conducted over 1,200 workplace investigations. In
this unique book, she explains the secret to avoiding all forms of
drama, legal exposure, and low morale: A healthy workplace culture.
Patti combines the lessons learned from 25 years of professional
experience with robust data from behavioral science research to debunk
common myths, including the belief that a focus on legal compliance
leads to a healthy workplace culture. (In fact, it increases the
likelihood of getting sued).
The Drama-Free Workplace includes a section with easy-to-understand
causes, effects and solutions to problems related to:
- Sexual harassment
- Bias and diversity
- Ethics lapses
The book also includes helpful information on:
- Becoming an organization that values and practices fearlessness,
fairness and freedom
- Anticipating situations that give rise to drama, with detailed advice
on how to prevent it from happening
- Using emotional intelligence to communicate more precisely and
persuasively about sensitive, controversial topics in the workplace
Finally, the book's DIY section guides companies on how to:
- draft and enforce helpful policies (that employees will actually read
and *want* to follow)
- design and deliver powerful and effective training programs
- investigate and resolve claims of sexual harassment and other types of
misconduct.
Together, these practical tools will help all your employees feel valued
and motivated, and keep drama, disengagement, and lawsuits, away.
