HR Daily

Media loves portraying HR as red-tape champions who complicate everything, and whilst secretly we might agree there is a sliver of truth in there, this article shows how we can avoid the drama, simplify processes, and shift perceptions —without starring in the next episode of Utopia! Check out Ilona Charles article in HR Daily where she challenges these stereotypes: https://lnkd.in/e4epnjJX #HRDaily #Leadership #shilo

The positive duty employers have to address bullying, sexual harassment and other psychosocial hazards calls for a “fundamental” shift in workplace listening and reporting mechanisms, Natasha de Silva says in a recent HR Daily interview also featuring Rely CEO, Nathan Luker. https://lnkd.in/gg4UD4SF

📣 "Waiting for incident reports to come in is not sufficient. It's not proactive, it's reactive." Last week Dr Angie Montgomery sat down with HR Daily to discuss why the recent allegations against Swillhouse and Merivale underscores the critical need for proactive bullying and harassment measures, and how this should motivate all employers to take action with their compliance obligations.

Sometimes it is the very individuals who allege toxic workplace cultures who are the toxic ones and these same people will accept nothing other than unequivocal vindication. Determining who the "victim" might be when investigating allegations is not as easy as you might think. It was a pleasure to be interviewed by Colin Ellis for his new book "Detox Your Culture", available now. Thank you to HR Daily for featuring some of my quotes in your article on Colin's new book! #workplace #investigations #culture

An employee has made complaints (even bullying complaints) but then resigns - does the risk stop? Constructive dismissal has a high bar but HR teams can learn from cases such as Liebenberg v IP Australia [2024] FWC 2933 (22 October 2024) and Jo Knox and the team at HR Daily asked for my thoughts on this case. Some aspects that led to the Employer successfully defending include: * not accepting the resignation right away but looking at alternatives for the employee * dealing with the constant complaints around bullying and in this case Administrative Law concerns * Offering the employee to clarify their employment position and gave him time to consider * Obviously the employer obtained legal advice when dealing with the complaints made If you have subscription premium access you can access the article here https://lnkd.in/gSWbDwby.

Low attrition may seem like a sign of stability, but it could be quietly eroding workplace culture. Parity Consulting’s founder, Victoria Butt, spoke to HR Daily about her observations when voluntary attrition dips below 12% –essentially, employee engagement often plummets. This trend is raising red flags for leaders across industries, sparking a need for fresh thinking around how organisations manage talent and nurture their culture.

Workplace bullying is something we don’t speak about enough. That’s why our Managing Director Sarah Queenan was pleased to recently speak with Jo Knox from HR Daily about opportunities we have to strengthen the HR frameworks many organisations have in place to prevent and manage workplace bullying. The world has changed, which means the way people bully has also changed - with policies simply not keeping up. "Technology is having a really substantive impact on the way people bully, because essentially bullying can now take place in a 24/7 environment," Queenan says. School bullies often target a victim out of hours, she notes, and it's "very easy" for workplace bullies to do the same. Certain cultural norms also exacerbate the problem, including attitudes that "very much" permeate into the workplace, such as "she'll be right, mate", "toughen up, harden up" and "shape up or shape out" – "so I think the Australian culture has a lot to answer for", she says.

It was great to recently speak with Jo Knox from HR Daily about how we need to seriously rethink workplace bullying. Bullying has an unquantifiable impact on both people and organisations. We know that people don’t report bullying, because the systems we have in place are not working. Bullying is an uncomfortable topic, but not talking about it means we don’t make progress. It means the bullies win. They can just keep bullying with no consequences for their behaviour. I’m not keen to let this happen - so let’s talk about it. What do you think?
