KAYLAMONCAYOkaylamoncayoHANDLING THE DARK SIDE OF HRVoices raised, pulses pounding,sweat pooling, gasping asembarrassment or accountabilityor trauma suffocates them – that’swhere my career has found itselfwith employees every single day.We label it Employee Relations,or the dark side of HR; I call it thebiggest honor of my life.Let me present this humbleopinion—there is only oneright way to handle EmployeeRelations. I do not believe in amulti-faceted approach, nor haveI seen other strategies work inmy career. The only approach Ihave ever seen that generateslight out of the darkest places inHR is an approach where dignityand justice are the ultimate goals.Tactical strategies will never workor produce remarkable companiesif dignity and justice aren’t thefocus of it all.Dignity is that essential humanpart of “human resources”which ethically mandates us togive these humans respect in allprocesses, every time, no matterthat human’s state. Justice is thatrequired dedication to pushingout our own bias, refusing to bepressured by the bias of others(including the C-Suite), and doingour jobs as legally and morallyjustas possible. Both dignityand justice are compulsory forEmployee Relations victories.The dark side of HR holds thesetreasures of life that few of us getto witness. It holds these nuggetsof gold where scared employeescome forward, where deficienciesare improved, and communicationis prioritized. These messy, awfullyhuman parts are the parts thatfuel powerful legislation thatimprove working conditions forthe children I’m going to raiseone day: the children you maybe raising now. The battles ofconsistently providing dignitywhile maintaining a fair and justHR practice are the battles whereheroes are forged. These are thespaces where impact is felt, andHR is truly, humanly powerful.
