Do you deal with retaliation in your workplace?  Ever felt that you were retaliated against?  Have you ever taken action against someone else?  Ever considered why people are so fundamentally charged up over this topic?  Well it is not you, that is for sure!  The fact is that retaliation in the workplace gets to the core of our essence as humans and it is time that we changed our mindset in terms of how we address, consider and of course train on this very challenging topic. 

In this session we will explore our physiology and how our very bodies create a visceral response that needs to be acknowledged and addressed before we can truly work to reduce the level of retaliation occurring in the workplace. Both the applicable employment laws and the cases across the country have left a plethora of examples in the sea of guidance and decisions in this area.  So join me as we engage together to tear down your incorrect preconceived notions and assist you in evolving beyond your DNA to thwart retaliation in your mind as well as your organization.

Learning Objectives:

• Explore the physiological response to the fight or flight response in the workplace.

• Gain insight into how to address retaliation independent of what employment law is being used in a given situation.
