Why Should You Attend:

The presidential election is both dividing the country and also reflects the division in the U. S., and therefore dividing the workforce. Employers need to be cautious regarding discussing politics in the workplace except in certain states. Political speech at work should fit into an organization’s diversity and inclusion strategy. Written political statements on clothing also needs to be recognized in the organization’s dress code.

  • 35% of employers openly share their political views with employees
  • 36% of employees discuss politics at work
  • 23% said it led to heated discussion or an argument
  • Only 25% of organizations have a written policy on political activities.
  • 80% of employees believe it would be illegal for their employers to terminate them for engaging in political speech at work.

If political speech isn’t handled well by the organization, it risks not only lawsuits, but absenteeism and turnover. Political speech at work is more complex than we likely have given consideration.

This webinar will discuss why political speech should be an important element of your organization’s diversity and inclusion initiative and how organizations will benefit from getting a strong handle on the complexity with this 2016 presidential election.
