Show Notes

Special Guest - Jimmie Hancock
 
 Jimmie has been working in HR for over 27 years.  While working in HR, he has been involved in many different types of workplace environments and has lead organizations through many challenges.  His goal is to foster a positive, safe, and growth-minded work environment for all people. Today we talk about creating a positive work environment free of negativity and poor direction.

  • External influences play a big part in workplace negativity
  • Restrictions on asking people about their past or personal life
  • Building relationships is key to understanding people
  • Often HR people forget about the human factor
  • How an environment shapes behaviors and understanding the employee's influences
  • Department Managers have to be apart of the process. 
  • Give the manager the ownership to go back to the employee and resolve the problem
  • Employees leave the manager not the company
  • Consulting HR is essential to understand the liabilities to the company
  • What is the employee's responsibility?
  • There needs to be a communication of expectations
  • Eliminating internal gossip 
  • Example of people wanting to know why someone is not at work? Is it Covid19? How do you address this?
  • Preventing hostile work environments
  • Managing negativity in male or female-centric environments when there are minority sexes involved. 
  • Employees being a part of the solution, not the problem
