The Training Bargain of the Century
Jul 21Punk Rock HR pro, Laurie Ruettimann, is offering sexual harassment training that makes sense:
Your company requires ’sexual harassment’ training. Back in the 90s, it was a one-hour PowerPoint presentation that was delivered over lunch. Then employees started hiring lawyers (god forbid), so the training morphed into ‘respectful employee conduct’ training sessions. Then some genius in HR/Marketing rebranded the endeavor as ‘conscious workplace interactions’ training sessions and sold toolkits and integrated software programs. HR decided to save time and incorporate some diversity training into those sessions, too, but it’s hard to talk about diversity when there isn’t much diversity in the room.
In the spirit of cutting to the chase, I’m starting a training division under my Punk Rock HR LLC Conglomerate and I am offering a comprehensive training session called Please Just STFU and Do Your Job: One Easy Step To Avoid Workplace Litigation.
Go read the rest of her idea. Sometimes L&D can be a little to much like the kids who used to play D&D. Don’t ovethink it, kids. Roll the dice and do what’s right.

I have to applaud you for the D&D reference. Yay for geeky subcultures!
Suddenly it’s 1984 and the boys in the back of my class are whispering, rolling dice, and talking in code.
“What are you doing?” I ask.
“You wouldn’t get it,” they answer.
Twenty-four years later, and they’re still right!
HR Minion…lol…yeah, D&D applied to HR, now that would be something.
Laurie..too true. I think you’re onto something.
