BOOK LAUNCH
HOW TO KEEP HR FROM BEING THE EMPLOYEE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT
By author, Natalie Ivey, MBA, SPHR, SHRM-SCP
Now available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, BN.com
To my fellow HR professionals who have been anticipating the release of my new book, I appreciate your patience! I am pleased to announce the release of How to Keep HR From Being the Employee Complaint Department, now available on Amazon and BN.com.
As I have shared with many of you within my professional network, I wrote this book because I have grown increasingly concerned about what’s going on in HR. What is troubling to me, is the trend I have seen emerge in how employee relations’ issues are being handled–and how much of the ‘handling’ is being shoved off onto HR. As many of you already know, a lot of managers would rather have a root canal than sit down with their employees to address behavior or performance issues, so HR has become the place where everybody goes to complain.
In my new book, I discuss how HR has evolved into the place where employees feel compelled to go to complain about anything and everything, from petty slights to departmental squabbles. In a rather light-hearted manner, I highlight a number of significant organizational factors that are actually creating the “on ramp” for employee foot traffic to HR’s door every day—and exactly what to do about it. I provide HR and Employee Relations’ professionals with numerous strategies to diplomatically push back on issues and problems that HR shouldn’t own. And, I share specific communication tips and techniques to use when handling difficult employees, and assertive communication tips on how to deal with conflict-averse managers who are shirking their responsibilities and creating more work for HR. (You’re welcome! ;o) Lastly, I provide great insight into how HR professionals can improve work/life balance and professional satisfaction through executing a “stay or go” HR career assessment.

Until next time…
Natalie.
