In HR, we deal with many upset people. Perhaps, it is not a daily occurrence, but it is fairly frequent. This video will give you some tips on how to deal with a variety of situations, such as:

– “My leader is an a**hole… RIGHT?”

– You: “Look at my nice presentation about [policy].”
– Employee: “We don’t want to talk about that, let me tell you about 🧨!”

– “My compensation is so unfair compared to…”

As HR, we need to deal with the issue, but we also need to arm ourselves to deal with the situation in a professional manner and bring back some calm.
