The Drama-Free Workplace
Patti Perez is the Vice President of Workplace Strategy for Emtrain, a technology-driven HR culture/compliance company, and a frequent speaker on sexual harassment prevention and other workplace issues in the United States and Latin America. She is a licensed California attorney, a professionally certified human resources executive, and a workplace drama prevention and resolution specialist.
Companies spend millions of dollars on legal compliance training and initiatives to eliminate workplace drama, low morale, and lawsuits, but they don't always get the desired results. Most organizations recognize that simply checking legal compliance boxes for sexual harassment, bias, and other issues isn't enough, but are unsure how to implement solutions, particularly in today's post-#MeToo world.
Patti Perez is a former state regulator, attorney, HR expert, and trainer who has conducted over 1,200 workplace investigations. She explains the secret to avoiding all forms of drama, legal exposure, and low morale in this one-of-a-kind book: a healthy workplace culture. Patti uses her 25 years of professional experience, as well as solid data from behavioral science research, to debunk common myths, such as the belief that a focus on legal compliance leads to a healthy workplace culture. (In fact, it increases the chances of being sued.)
The Drama-Free Workplace includes a section with simple causes, effects, and solutions to problems such as:
- Sexual assault
- Diversity and bias
- Errors in ethics
The book also contains useful information on:
- Developing into a company that values and practices fearlessness, fairness, and freedom
- Anticipating situations that could lead to drama and providing detailed advice on how to avoid them
- Using emotional intelligence to communicate more precisely and persuasively about sensitive and contentious workplace issues
Finally, the DIY section of the book instructs businesses on how to:
- create and implement useful policies (that employees will actually read and *want* to follow).
- create and deliver powerful and effective training programs
- investigate and resolve sexual harassment and other types of misconduct claims
These practical tools will help all of your employees feel valued and motivated while avoiding drama, disengagement, and lawsuits.
