Welcome to The Job Judge!

"I'll be the judge of that!"

In today's episode, Karen discusses the impact of politics in the workplace during election season. While there is no federal law protecting political discussions at work, the current divisive political climate can lead to regretful conversations and even hate among colleagues. Karen mentions statistics from surveys indicating that over 50% of people believe those discussions had a negative impact at their job! She advises organizations to create a civil workplace by accepting colleagues with different political beliefs and avoiding bringing divisive topics into the workplace. Additionally, emphasizing the importance of addressing employee performance issues early and documenting the conversations to foster transparency and trust. Documentation is vital! Some managers avoid confrontations out of niceness, but this approach can hinder an employee's success. The Job Judge encourages managers to address any employee situation within 48 hours and suggests following the podcast for more insight. This is the best, and safest, practice.
