People Will Be People

With all the tumultuous changes going on in the world right now, it’s good to know that some things are consistent. Even though I’ve been largely out of the day-to-day HR realm of employee issues for the past 5 ½ months, it turns out that organizations still have their fair share of unreasonable, illogical and needy employees with issues that, at times, seem unbelievable to the 3rd party observer.

Now you might have thought that companies would be using these times of significant downsizing and re-structuring to ensure the talent pool at their disposal is made up of only the finest and most efficient resources. Well, I don’t have all the answers, so I’ll just let each of you look to your right and then look to your left and make up your own minds. Needless to say, there are still employee relations issues a plenty out there. 8.5% unemployment doesn’t seem to change that and unemployment may only make employees more willing to claim harassment, discrimination or other treachery in order to make a fast buck.

Businesspeople, keep your eyes peeled; be responsive to your employees’ claims; and partner with a professional so you don’t needlessly give the farm away in a settlement. Maybe even check out this great new resource I found online……..
