I remember shortly after joining the in-house legal team at a Fortune 500 company 20+ years ago, a co-worker taking me to lunch and saying, “don’t trust HR; they are the company spies.”
Over the years as I built a career in corporate compliance and independent investigations, I’ve thought a lot about that comment and the importance of employees trusting their leaders – especially HR. If the allegations contained in the Sports Illustrated article “Inside the Corrosive Workplace of the Dallas Mavericks” are accurate, because Mavericks employees didn’t trust HR they refrained from reporting concerns about sexual harassment and workplace misconduct.
