Here's how you can manage the emotional impact of a layoff.
Even when I terminate somebody, and even if they stole from the company, I still approach it with the idea that they have to go home that night and explain to their family that they lost their job and in many ways they lost their livelihood at least temporarily. It helps to add a little bit of kindness to the exit.

What are some of the emerging leadership trends and theories that you should be aware of?
We seem to jump right into the mechanics of leadership when most people don't give the leadership basics their due. Caring, respect, and trust have to be the core. Then you can approach vulnerability, empathy, and self-awareness. Once you build a competency around that, you begin to get psychological safety, which is the secret sauce of leadership. Only then can you talk about the HOWs of leadership.

If you're still on the fence about whether to bring in an outside HR professional, check out some of our case studies and stories from our clients. Bringing in an outside perspective that isn't influenced by the day-to-day politics and grind of the office can bring a whole new perspective. It's also a great way to complete projects like your handbook, succession plan, or expansion that your HR team just doesn't have the time to do. #hr #culture #strategy

The correct answer is D - Sibling. The U.S. federal FMLA covers parents, spouses, and children, but not siblings. Knowing these details helps ensure proper HR compliance and support for employees. Thank you for participating! Let’s continue to explore important HR topics together. #HRCompliance #FMLA #HRPractice #DistinctiveHR

According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) one of the formal indicators of a hostile workplace is how severe and/or pervasive an act is. Pandy references the actual guidance published in April, 2024 to teach us how to identify if an act is either severe or pervasive. #HR #humanresource #businesschallenges #recruiting #harassment
