The Double-Edged Sword of Hidden Rules in Organizations
In this eye-opening episode of Big Blend Radio’s SUPERVISION MATTERS Podcast, organizational coach and author Rita Sever (Supervision Matters & Leading for Justice) explores the often-overlooked impact of hidden rules in the workplace.
From inclusion to exclusion, hidden rules shape our daily interactions—often without us realizing it. Rita breaks down how these unspoken norms function in organizational and cultural settings, why they can create challenges for newcomers, and how leaders and HR professionals can address them to build healthier, more transparent work environments.
🎙️ Key Takeaways:
• Hidden rules can both foster belonging and cause exclusion.
• Cultural misunderstandings often stem from unspoken expectations.
• HR plays a vital role in uncovering and addressing these silent norms.
• Transparency and communication help prevent workplace inequities.
• New employees should feel empowered to ask about unwritten rules.
• Mentorship or a buddy system can help ease integration.
• Organizations must align stated values with actual practices.
