@BowtieTodd hard not to take it personal but use it as an opportunity to show EEO inaction be a true EEO champion!

[Dr. Todd Jenkins @BowtieTodd]

Q9: How should a workplace #leader handle EEO complaints against peers or subordinates? #bowtieconvo #law #management

[Sam Roberts @slrobertsESQ]

@BowtieTodd take internal complaints seriously. Even if the employee is hyper sensitive. Dont retaliate. #bowtieconvo

[Sam Roberts @slrobertsESQ]

@BowtieTodd lawyers cost more money than a good effective internal resolution process.

[Sam Roberts @slrobertsESQ]

@BowtieTodd certainly the lack of claims is a measure but it's good that employees use internal complaint processes rather than lawyers

[Sam Roberts @slrobertsESQ]

@BowtieTodd how much is 2 much depends on the org but there can be line that is crossed. A good rule is to follow law and co. policy

[Sam Roberts @slrobertsESQ]

@BowtieTodd bringing your authentic self to work can be difficult but a good leader brings out the best in employees. Best= authentic

[Dr. Todd Jenkins @BowtieTodd]

Q6: How can a leader being "authenitic" in the workplace increase EEO and promote diversity and inclusion? #bowtiecovno #diversity

[Sam Roberts @slrobertsESQ]

@bowtieconvo recognize that there are different perpetuates when it comes to EEO and deal with people accordingly

[Sam Roberts @slrobertsESQ]

@bowtieconvo whether you think it's a little or a lot a person you deal with might be on the other end of the spectrum #bowtieconvo

[Sam Roberts @slrobertsESQ]

@bowtieconvo there is no right answer here but what's important is that everyone has an opinion or bias about EEO #bowtieconvo

[Sam Roberts @slrobertsESQ]

@BowtieTodd leaders can find balance if they are not seeking diversity for the sake of diversity if goals are truly served #bowtieconvo

[Sam Roberts @slrobertsESQ]

@BowtieTodd I think we can look to @POTUS here where he has to walk a fine line because of the expectations on him a fine line #bowtieconvo

[Sam Roberts @slrobertsESQ]

@BowtieTodd leaders set the tone for how important and accepted diversity will be within an organization. #bowtieconvo

[Sam Roberts @slrobertsESQ]

@BowtieTodd having diverse faces isn't enough. Workplaces need diverse voices as well. #bowtieconvo

[Sam Roberts @slrobertsESQ]

@BowtieTodd I think of diversity as being "invited to the party" inclusion is "being asked to dance" once you get there. #bowtieconvo

[Sam Roberts @slrobertsESQ]

@BowtieTodd EEO laws ensure that all employees can work in a respectful environment free from discrimination and harassment. #bowtieconvo
