Company Policy Versus Intuitive Knowledge - Webinar by TrainHR October 23, 2012

Overview : Often, when you are handed a project, some of the elements and activities are not disclosed immediately. You may be immersed in so many details that the fact you are engaged in an immoral or illegal activity may not be obvious. Sometimes, there is a fussy line between what is the "fair" thing to do and what will make the most money for the corporation, institution, or business entity. Who do you have to consider as you are deciding on "fairness"? honesty? legality?

Who should you discuss this with? If you decide you do not want to continue in this controversial, questionable vein, who do you report this to?
Above all, how do you express your reservations so they do not come across as puritanical? Obsessive? Up-tight? Weird? Or, another form of abuse of employees was reported to me recently. The boss here simply took over the lives of the employees, expecting them to leave their sleeping bags at the office for often, late night work. As many as 7 or 8 nights a month were spent on special projects at the office. This employee said the boss was very clever in making the team feel they were part of a "family" so the end result was lots of overworking hours and no private life. The boss convinced them they were a lucky bunch to have such a good job. With a good job they did not need a private life. After 5 years, she woke up and quit this "perfect job". Now she is trying to work out a real life of her own, after work.

Basically, during this presentation we will consider how can you keep your job, keep your boss happy, and sleep at night, knowing your innate principles are being followed in your daily life and in all your decisions?

Why should you attend: The fear of losing one's job obscures the dictates of one's conscience. until it doesn't. How can you manage to keep your job when all around you are losing theirs? And you may be next? I have counseled one employee who reported illegal working hours abuses to HR and still lost her job. I suspect she is one of many. It is HR's job to stop these illegal actions, but HR personnel are afraid of losing their jobs too. How can you protect yourself? Even if the abuses are illegal, you my still be vulnerable if you squeal. In this market place jobs are hard to get. Do you just follow orders, even if you know you could be the "fall" guy if all this comes to light?
