Do you think a company that uses words like "ethics" and "honest" is more likely to actually be ethical? It seems like the answer is, "no." Susan Frank Divers writes about the relationship between talking the talk and walking the walk for the Ethena blog. She shares a Journal of Business Ethics study that found a correlation between the use of “trust” words in companies’ securities filings and issues like higher audit fees and comment letters from the Securities and Exchange Commission. My blunt version is that companies that used good words were more likely to be doing bad. I puzzled on whether I thought this was surprising and came away with the conclusion that I don't think it is. When I was in the Army, I became skeptical of commanders who went on and on about their Open Door Policies. Often, these same commanders would then signal that they actually wanted to sweep issues under the rug. On the flip side, I noticed that commanders who spent little time on rhetoric and instead just did the quiet work of showing, through actions, their commitment to things like a speak up culture did indeed build a speak up culture. To the extent there's a takeaway, I think it's this: every time you find yourself working on messaging, ask yourself, "Have I spent an equal amount of time on action?" Communicating is really important, but only when coupled with action.

Yesterday was International Non-Binary People's Day. Let's talk about it! 👇 Around the world, July 14th is recognized as International Non-Binary People’s Day. It shines a light on those who identify as #nonbinary and celebrates the rich diversity of the community. 💡 WHAT DOES NON-BINARY MEAN? The term “non-binary” describes someone who does not identify exclusively as a man or a woman. Non-binary folks may identify with both masculine and feminine aspects, or they might fall completely outside these categories. Many non-binary people also identify as trans, though not all do. While societal norms often reinforce the notion that gender exists as a binary, we know there's so much more to it. Non-binary people show us every day that knowing yourself and your identity is a powerful thing that no one can strip away.

Reasonable accommodations can be pretty darn tricky. 😥 Not only do they entail time-intensive admin work (that can vary from state to state), but they also tend to be laden with legally nuanced and complex circumstances. Like, say... an ongoing performance issue. Or having to collect some seriously personal medical information. That's some pretty intimidating stuff. In this webinar, our VP of People, Melanie Naranjo, will partner with Justine L. Abrams, Esq., Employment lawyer & Advisor, Ogletree Deakins to talk through the ins and outs of employee accommodations, including: best practices to lean into, pitfalls to avoid, and what to do when an accommodation request overlaps with performance issues. Tune in on Tuesday, July 23rd (2pm ET | 11am PT) to get the inside scoop on how to handle employee accommodations like a pro. See you there! RSVP: https://lnkd.in/gpsNkqJC
