HOW HR PROFESSIONALS CAN MANAGE IN A TOXIC WORK ENVIRONMENT

Description

The HR department is just as susceptible to workplace toxicity as any other organizational department, except for one major difference – secrecy inspired by our duty to maintain confidentiality. Therefore, to whom does the HR professional turn when faced with workplace toxicity? HR professionals can suffer the same ill effects that they are tasked with managing for other employees such as stress, self-blaming, lowered self-esteem, depression, and even physical illness. Unlike the general workforce, HR professionals often suffer in silence, feeling alone and unsupported. Since HR professionals are tasked with walking the fine line between protecting the organization while at the same time protecting organizational members from toxic situations in the workplace, it is even more important that they develop strategies to protect themselves as well. During this one-hour seminar, Dr. Deirdre Carlock, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, will discuss the components of organizational toxicity, explain the signs and symptoms of workplace toxicity and the range of toxic behaviors and leadership styles, and offer practical advice on how human resources professionals can develop strategies to manage themselves as they maneuver within a toxic work environment. Time will be allotted for question and answers.
