Listener Q&A - We Answer Your Questions! How far do we investigate?
Manage episode 374906918 series 2813082
Welcome to another Listener Q&A with The Team at HR Stories! Today’s episode goes into these questions:
- We have a full-time employee who is not reaching his minimum of 32 hours a week. What should we do if his leadership doesn’t have enough work for him?
- There is a department at my company that has loud cursing all day long. Is it considered a hostile work environment if no one has complained?
- An employee gets an inappropriate message at 3 am from a coworker that the sender ends up saying was an accident. Once HR checks in with the recipient and confirm that they don’t want to file a complaint, is there any other action that needs to be done?
- If you have an employee who reports harassment, how do you follow up with them when you learn during the investigation that they also engaged in less-than-ideal behavior without falling into retaliation?
- When you are an HR team of one and you feel that you’re being mistreated at work, how do you handle this?
