HR Blaming the Victims?

by Gregg Ward in Business Culture, Managing Conflict, Respectful Leadership

Recently, while speaking at a large human resources conference, I sat down for breakfast with an HR executive who, after hearing about the work I do in respect, immediately ranted “I’m sick and tired of employees being so sensitive.” Wow.
