With the recent salacious stories of what’s happening in workplaces like United Airlines and Fox News among many others, you have to wonder how we’re doing with Ethics. Many of us are eager to espouse how everyone “should” be ethical in their approach and behavior. However, when a situation happens, how do we respond? In some cases, how was poor behavior allowed to continue over an extended period of time?

Let’s gather for the May HR Roundtable to discuss this !! Our topic will be: “Ethics in the Workplace: Beliefs or Reality?”

The Roundtable will meet on Tuesday, 5/2/17 from 8:00am to 9:00am at Scarlet Oaks. (directions below) at Scarlet Oaks. Look for the large parking lot where the buses are dropping off the students.

Be prepared to have some deep discussion around this topic. I know we’re treading into an area where opinions could be very strong, but I welcome the challenge and think we’ll take this on very well !!

I hope you can be a part of the May HR Roundtable. Would you do me a favor, and e-mail me at: sbrowne@larosas.com to let me know if you can make it? I appreciate getting your RSVP.

See you in a few weeks – Steve

Instructions for the HR Roundtable at Scarlet Oaks:

·         The HR Roundtable is open to one and all !!  The meeting has an HR/Business focus each month and we get together to discuss that topic as well as network.  So, if you’re in HR, are a small business owner, are a resource partner who works with HR folks, a professional in transition, etc. – you are welcome to attend the Roundtable !!

·         If you’re someone in transition, feel free to bring five (5) copies of the resume to the Roundtable to display. Make sure they’re stapled and not loose. You only need to bring five. It will be enough to help you network.

·         Place your resumes in the Job Role category that best fits your background. Please don’t spread them over several categories. People will find you and help you look. You can trust me on that.

·         The “dress” for the Roundtable is business casual. We’re not very formal and you’ll be fine however you dress. It’s more important to have you come and attend the forum !!

·         You can bring business cards, but don’t immediately pass them out when you get to the Roundtable. Get to know people first and see if they’d like a card. It doesn’t need to be your introduction.

·         Please come in and sign in for the Roundtable.  Note that if you go to any other Great Oaks door, you’ll be asked to have a picture ID and you will receive a Visitors badge as part of their security system.

·         Chances are I’ll be outside to greet you and welcome you to the Roundtable so you can find the right door to come and join the forum !!
