Living The Red Life
How an HR Executive Built a People-First Empire

So let's do something short of termination and tell him that we didn't terminate him because he told the truth.

Living The Red Life
How an HR Executive Built a People-First Empire

Had he lied, we would have.

Living The Red Life
How an HR Executive Built a People-First Empire

That's the approach we need to take.

Living The Red Life
How an HR Executive Built a People-First Empire

And we knew this.

Living The Red Life
How an HR Executive Built a People-First Empire

I already knew this.

Living The Red Life
How an HR Executive Built a People-First Empire

He'd go back and tell all his friends.

Living The Red Life
How an HR Executive Built a People-First Empire

I told him the truth.

Living The Red Life
How an HR Executive Built a People-First Empire

And that's the only reason I kept my job.

Living The Red Life
How an HR Executive Built a People-First Empire

Because I think that's going to encourage people to do, even when they've done something wrong, to do the right thing, even in those moments.

Living The Red Life
How an HR Executive Built a People-First Empire

To not do another bad thing to cover up the bad thing.

Living The Red Life
How an HR Executive Built a People-First Empire

Because I think when that happens, more bad things happen.

Living The Red Life
How an HR Executive Built a People-First Empire

And so, yeah.

Living The Red Life

And the employee, he had been with us for like eight years, was a great employee straight and narrow from that point on.

Living The Red Life
How an HR Executive Built a People-First Empire

And so that's kind of like how I like to approach things.

Living The Red Life
How an HR Executive Built a People-First Empire

That's great.

Living The Red Life
How an HR Executive Built a People-First Empire

People over the rules and stuff.

Living The Red Life
How an HR Executive Built a People-First Empire

You know, that's interesting because a lot of that is dictated by your leader in your leadership.

Living The Red Life
How an HR Executive Built a People-First Empire

You know, and I've worked in organizations where I realized I can't work here long because it's very much a place that doesn't respect that people are people and humans and things happen to humans.

Living The Red Life
How an HR Executive Built a People-First Empire

And so we've got to just make sure that we allow for human things to happen, but not things that are like, you know, defiance.

Living The Red Life
How an HR Executive Built a People-First Empire

Again, the situation that I dealt with, that was a defiant situation, but we had had him for so long.
