In an election year, it's imperative to maintain a clear boundary between politics and business. While individuals naturally hold personal beliefs, the workplace should remain a neutral zone where such discussions are set aside. The priority should always be professional engagement, focusing on our common business objectives and the tasks at hand. If political topics inadvertently arise, it's crucial to tactfully redirect the conversation back to its original purpose. By doing so, we ensure our professional environments stay productive and unified, concentrating on serving our customers and achieving collective goals. As we navigate this election year, let's commit to upholding a principle of neutrality in our workplaces, ensuring that all team members remain focused, respected, and united, irrespective of their political affiliations. #PoliticsandBusiness #ElectionYear #DiversityandInclusion #ProfessionalEthics #RespectfulDialogue

The #SAelections24 take place tomorrow. For the past several days I have aligned my LinkedIn posts to the relevant topic: National politics at work: Avoiding conflict and managing reputation in the workplace It is important to note that an employer is entitled to adopt workplace rules and policies which limit the rights to freedom of association, opinion, belief and expression in the interest of maintaining an apolitical and harmonious workplace and where political activity may negatively impact the integrity of its work. Rules against politicking in the workplace must be reasonable and limit these rights only insofar as is necessary. Read more here - https://bit.ly/4brdM7j #employers #workplace #politics

Political discussions can be divisive and distracting. They often lead to misunderstandings and unnecessary tensions. While we respect everyone's right to their own opinions, let's prioritize creating an environment where everyone feels heard, valued, and comfortable expressing themselves without fear of judgment. We can make a significant impact through collaboration, creativity, and open dialogue that centers on our work and shared goals. Let's channel our energy into our projects, innovations, and personal growth. Together, we can achieve remarkable results. . . #officepolitics #office #politics #politicsmemes #boss #corporatelife #officememes #work #officelife #corporate #memes #toxicworkplace #workplaceculture

So, I love that we are in The Times today and on my pet subject - of #polarisation. I would have liked them to use the phrase 'work behaviour specialists byrne·dean' (which is how we are styling ourselves), and I'm not at all sleighted that they interviewed me and the wonderful Sophie Clifford and it's Sophie who gets the byline (along with numerous academic/industry titans). I think the quote they have picked probably needs some explaining: I'm not sure it is the (harassment and bullying) policies themselves that are the problem when it comes to policing conversations about politics etc in the office. The point we were making about our clients #harassment policies is that they are often of limited use because their definition of harassment is so broad as to cover virtually all behaviour - because it may offend. I think that what employers need to do is to be far clearer with people about what is expected of them in terms of how they interact with colleagues. I wouldn't advocate banning particular subjects, but I do want it to be clear and understood that upsetting your colleagues is a transgression of policies and something to be avoided. I think that in connection with work social media channels like Slack, those messages need to be really clear. #Bullying and harassment can so easily happen in that arena. I've been struck this week by how this stuff plays out in real workplaces. Because people are prompted by social media to see '#theotherside' as bad, they assume that someone who has liked a post on LinkedIn or wherever that supports 'the other side', they will almost certainly discriminate against me in our workplace - because they are on 'the other side'. That's just not how people (or workplaces) work. The world is not black and white. So much to say on this subject. With #kindness.
byrne·dean features in The Times today 🗞️ Our workplaces are becoming more polarised, as a reflection of our society. People are losing the art of tolerating and accepting others’ views, and we’re seeing this continue to create conflict. Political views are a big part of that, which will intensify this year as the UK prepares for an election. What should employers do? Our expert Sophie Clifford was interviewed by Sam Forsdick for a piece on this, featuring as the lead article in a special Raconteur report distributed in The Times this morning.
