Today we talk about creating a positive work environment free of negativity and poor direction.

• External influences play a big part in workplace negativity
• Restrictions on asking people about their past or personal life
• Building relationships is key to understanding people
• Often HR people forget about the human factor
• How an environment shapes behaviors and understanding the employee's influences
• Department Managers have to be apart of the process. 
• Give the manager the ownership to go back to the employee and resolve the problem
• Employees leave the manager not the company
• Consulting HR is essential to understand the liabilities to the company
• What is the employee's responsibility?
• There needs to be a communication of expectations
• Eliminating internal gossip 
• Example of people wanting to know why someone is not at work? Is it Covid19? How do you address this?
• Preventing hostile work environments
• Managing negativity in male or female-centric environments when there are minority sexes involved. 
• Employees being a part of the solution, not the problem
