HR executives wear two hats on a daily basis: supporting executive management and advocating for employees. But what do you do when your executive team oversteps legal boundaries and it impacts your entire population? Do you stand behind management or protect your employees? What are the pitfalls? Will you be a casualty of doing the right thing? Are you the next American Apparel and Uber? Hear real-life examples of HR challenges when executive management goes rogue and asks for support from HR. Learn options to protect your employees and yourself from a practitioner’s perspective. In this session, you will:
- Review the legal obligations that result from illegal or law-breaking activity.
- Discuss remedies to go around your executive team to report inappropriate behavior or actions by senior management.
- Learn tips to deal with the press if you are caught in the middle of a public situation involving inappropriate behavior.
