Human Resources In A Toxic Work Environment

Are you trying to do HR in a toxic work environment? That's haard.

You might see that things are not right and see that people aren't being held accountable for awful behaviour. Perhaps you feel a bit trapped in your job and can't switch and yet you don't have the power to really do anything about the problem.

At this point, it's probably a long game and my guest has so much great advice. So much.

Dr. Kevin Sansberry started in HR as an HR Advisor. Then he worked his way up to being Assistant Vice Chancellor of HR. Then he went off and did his own thing including a TedX presentation, consulting, executive coaching and the Toxic Leadership Podcast. I was delighted by the insight he had into tough HR issues - such as toxicity. You can tell that he has deep experience in HR. This is a fraction of the insight he shared:

- As we discussed in a separate video, toxicity is an easy label, but rarely describes actual behaviour.

- You are not without power even as an HR advisor.

- You can change things, but need to think strategically.

- Toxicity has its roots in culture. Focusing on anything else will be a bandaid fix.

It was a fantastic discussion. One of the best if you are in HR.
