How To Identify Subtle Misconduct And What To Do

Microaggressions, putdowns, harassment... Sometimes they are obvious,  but frequently they are not.  What's often true is that they are  difficult issues for an organization and they are dealt with badly or  ignored. Which is also partly why only 30% of issues are reported.   There must be a better way.

Maysa Hawash, this week's guest is  finding a better way.  She has collaborated on software that will help  the employees who don't want to speak up directly.  It's called HearU  and I think it's a great idea. It allows employees to speak up  anonymously and gives organizations a chance to understand what is  really going on.  Obviously it's not the only option, but I think it's a  good one.

🆉 Gen Z experiences this more often.  Possibly because they have higher standards.

👋 The 70% of those who don't report... they might just leave and you'll never know why.  

👂Not everything warrants an investigation.  Sometimes employees just want validation.  

🤝 HR can validate an individual, but they still need the commitment of leadership to address problems more systemically.

I confess, I have given friends advice to just leave. It's easier than  fighting the culture. This is much better.  Take a listen.
