These days, employees are more informed about their rights—and that’s a great thing! A well-educated team helps build safer, more successful workplaces. But sometimes, this understanding can lead to misinterpretations. Terms like “discrimination” and “retaliation” are being thrown around to describe situations that don’t quite fit—from changes in office policies to addressing valid performance issues. Like it or not, it’s happening, and HR leaders are often the ones who need to step in and address these challenges. So how do you navigate these tricky conversations with empathy, while maintaining clarity and fairness? Join us on Monday, November 4 at 1:00 p.m. PT, for a practical discussion on how to handle these nuanced dynamics without losing trust as Chantelle Cappa Egan, Director of Medina McKelvey LLP’s Advice and Counsel Practice Group, and Melanie Naranjo, Chief People Officer at Ethena, explore the reasons why legal terms are misused and share strategies for managing these situations effectively.
