Improve Your HR

The day after the 2016 election, when everyone was freaking out about a Trump upset, I wrote this:
“Look, the adrenaline is pumping today. It was an upset. But tomorrow everything will be back to a blissful non-election normal. You’ll go to work, drink your coffee, get a call from school that your little darling just vomited over a classmate. All those normal things. Before the election cycle began, you didn’t think all that much about who the president was, and you’ll go back to that.”
Boy was I wrong! Things never went back to normal. And now, 8 years later, we have the inauguration of Donald Trump again. I never in a million years would have predicted this.
And yet, here we are. And life is different.
For instance, 24 states now have legalized recreational marijuana. 31 states have either banned DEI in some form or are looking to do so.
For most people, neither one of those things makes a big difference in their lives. But HR professionals are faced with huge changes.
Federal law requires that businesses don’t discriminate on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, or several other things. Nevada law requires that you don’t discriminate against marijuana users.
Are you up to date on what you can do about a drug free workplace? What does your diversity training look like? Are you in compliance?
At HRLearns, we want you to be on top of everything. We’re starting out our new year with new programs designed to help you stay on top of things.
 
 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) have become contentious topics in today’s polarized climate. Many companies are canceling or changing their DEI programs, or rebranding them to remove controversy. However, creating an inclusive workplace doesn’t have to spark controversy. This session focuses on practical, low-conflict strategies for fostering a diverse and inclusive environment while navigating the sensitivities of employees and stakeholders
