Impartiality in workplace dispute resolution by HR is crucial to maintaining fairness and trust. It ensures that all parties feel heard and respected, fostering a positive work environment.

Are your training programs and policies meeting the required standards? - Minimum service levels: Industries affected by industrial action will need to carefully plan minimum service levels to balance employee rights and operational requirements. - Agency workers during strikes: Organisations relying on temporary workers must ensure compliance and ethical considerations are meticulously addressed.

Why We Need to Talk About Corruption in HR HR departments are meant to be the backbone of workplace fairness, ensuring all employees are treated with dignity and respect. However, when HR prioritizes protecting the company's image or shielding management over standing up for employee rights, they become part of the problem, not the solution. Too often, HR is complicit in silencing reports of harassment, misconduct, and toxic work environments. They exist not to serve employees but to minimize legal risks for the company. When you report an issue, you're not just voicing your concerns—you’re putting yourself at risk of retaliation, manipulation, or even termination. It's time to demand accountability. HR needs to stop being a corporate shield and start being a voice for the people they claim to represent. Real change only happens when we hold these systems accountable and ensure they work for all employees, not just the bottom line. What has been your experience with HR? Have you ever felt silenced or dismissed by them? Let’s keep this conversation going and advocate for real reform. #WorkplaceFairness #HRReform #Accountability #WorkplaceJustice #EmployeeRights
