America and the world have become more polarized. People have diverse and strong opinions about societal, social and political issues, and this divisiveness is seeping into our workplaces. Some employees may be outspoken about their beliefs or opinions, and some may quietly feel intimidated or unsafe. Many employees are looking to their company leaders to speak out on topics that are important to them.

Our desired outcomes for this event are:

  1. Equip HR leaders to initiate actions and conversations that can mitigate polarization.
  2. Develop a toolkit of proactive strategies - guiding principles; a communication strategy; or actions and programmatic approaches - to help manage polarizing topics before those topics cause organizational disruption.

The focus of this session is the role HR leaders play in shaping how organizations manage this divisiveness. We will explore:

  • How are companies addressing polarization that may emerge in the workplace? What has worked well, and not worked?
  • What messaging and programs have been initiated and how effective have they been?
  • What are the consequences for employees, leaders, or vendors if their behaviors run counter to established codes of conduct or company values?
  • What impact have governmental, judicial or societal shifts and turbulence had on corporate culture, employee wellbeing, or DEI efforts.

Join us on March 19 to fill your toolbox so you and your organization can proactively and strategically manage workforce challenges in this polarized environment.
