We've now had a few days to process the deeply troubling political violence in Pennsylvania this past weekend. This week, we will all surely be dealing with a range of emotions. Let's please remember the words we use and the way we treat our colleagues will matter more now than ever. We are colleagues. We are friends. We are Americans. It is my sincere hope we can all come together to reject violence, promote civility, and practice true kindness. #SHRM #CivilityAtWork #HumanResources
Yesterday's shocking assassination attempt on a former U.S. President and current presidential candidate has left us all deeply shaken. Regardless of political beliefs or affiliation, violence of any kind against anyone under any circumstances is unacceptable. This event serves as a stark reminder of the importance of our mission to foster civility, respect, and inclusion in every aspect of our lives, especially in the workplace. SHRM’s efforts are not just about creating better work environments—they are about building a better society for all. I applaud our elected officials on both sides of the aisle showing unity and support as well as vocally calling for civility. I call upon all CEOs, CHROs, and HR Professionals to lead with empathy and employ active listening as the work week starts up again tomorrow. The principles that guide us through challenging times like this are: 1️⃣ Civility for All: Treating every individual with dignity and respect, regardless of their background or beliefs. 2️⃣ Open Communication: Encouraging open, honest, and constructive dialogue in our workplaces. 3️⃣ Empathy and Understanding: Striving to understand different perspectives and fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued. Now is the time to model civility in every conversation today and this coming week.

Leading HR Professionals and CEO's to a better Employee Experience.
1moWe need to remember the trauma that we experience in these situations. HR is often the front line responder in the work place for situations that employees face inside and outside of work. HR professionals in turn need to take care of ourselves. This is trauma that HR needs to recognize for themselves and work through. Vicarious trauma is a real thing that needs to be normalized in HR.
