Are you the kind of boss employees want to follow — or the one they desperately avoid? Phillip B. Wilson, our guest this week, is a nationally recognized expert in leadership, labor relations, and fostering positive workplaces. As CEO and General Counsel of LRI Consulting Services, Wilson champions what he calls “Approachable Leadership.” His philosophy is simple: The more accessible and down-to-earth executives and frontline supervisors are, the more their businesses will thrive. Conversely, when leaders create a wide power gap between themselves and their employees, they risk driving away top talent or pushing workers toward unionization. Get an advanced look into Phil's upcoming book, The Leader-Shift Playbook (available now to preorder from Amazon), and hear why he believes that even the most unapproachable bosses can be transformed. You can't afford to miss this episode if you lead a team — whether you're a frontline manager, a C-Suite executive, or the owner of a business.

Unlock the secrets to navigating the complexities of employee relations with Deb Muller, the trailblazing founder and CEO of HR Acuity, who joins us with her wealth of experience in marrying HR expertise and technology.

With Deb's insights, we uncover how trust and support are the cornerstones of a transformed HR identity, one that's aligned with the heartbeat of an organization—its people. We examine the ripple effect of positive HR interactions and how they can catapult an organization's reputation from dreaded necessity to trusted confidant. Deb also reveals how simple yet powerful tools, like ENPS surveys following HR interventions, can provide a pulse check on employee sentiment, turning feedback into a catalyst for growth and improvement.Finally, we navigate the tightrope of transparency within HR, discussing how this trend is reshaping expectations in the modern workplace. From open discussions about salary to the ethics of confidentiality agreements, we dissect the implications of an open-door policy. HR's role as the moral compass of a company comes to the forefront, especially in the wake of misconduct, and we explore the importance of not just hearing but truly listening to employees.

Deb Muller was an experienced HR executive at a large global company who left her job to start a consultancy specializing in managing important employee incident investigations. Surprisingly, her customers asked her for a software solution that included her best practices, so she mocked up some screens and had someone build the first version in 2009. She started selling it to fellow HR leaders and her software company HR Acuity was born.  Professional management of employee incident investigations was new when HR Acuity started, but there was no shortage of employee incidents to track, especially in larger companies with more than 1000 employees. She and her team built a community of HR leaders and led the global discussion about proactive employee relations and transparent HR incident management. Big changes like #MeToo, DE&I awareness, and remote employment during COVID increased the awareness of these HR issues and the tools to manage them.  HR Acuity is now a fast-growing company with over 100 employees. Deb took a small angel investment from a friend a few years after starting the company. They grew mostly from revenues with no interest in any major funding until 2019, when HR Acuity took a growth equity investment from Growth Street Partners. In 2021, they took additional funding from K1 Investment Management. The company is still independent and growing steadily.  In this episode, Deb explains: How she started her company as a law firm providing employee incident investigation consulting for large companies, then slowly transitioned to being a software-only company. Why she grew their community of HR leaders at large companies with roundtable discussions to share ideas, processes, and approaches with each other. How she bootstrapped the company with customer sales revenue, but slowly learned that some appropriate funding could help the company grow faster without being crazy about it. What has changed in the employee-employer relationship in the last 15 years that has helped them grow What women founders should be thinking about when they are serious about creating change in the world with a software company Find out more at practicalfounders.com.

Employee Relations is a critical element of any organization - but are you doing all you can to avoid "Red Light" incidents and allegations? Today, tech solutions can equip you with powerful insights to ensure compliance, protect your brand, and achieve greater organizational effectiveness. This week on ProjectHR, Deb Muller, CEO of HR Acuity talks with us about: - Employee relations - whose job is it? - How employee relations professionals can improve the employee experience; - Three ways technology can improve employee relations; - The power of HR Acuity to manage investigations

Deb Muller is driven by an obsession to do things the right way, particularly in employee relations, where she has spent her career championing excellence and effectively managing workplace investigations. After serving in executive HR roles at numerous Fortune 500 companies like Honeywell, Citibank, and Marsh & McLennan, Deb launched HR Acuity to create technology with built-in expertise and equip organizations to manage employee relations more strategically. Deb provides a wealth of real-world experience and guidance to help companies strengthen processes, transform workplace culture, and elevate employee relations as a strategic driver of business success. I invited her onto my daily tech podcast to learn more about her HR Tech startup story. While conducting workplace investigations at high-profile companies like Honeywell and Citibank, Deb Muller realized there was no standardized or formal training for HR professionals working in investigations, which put organizations at risk for potential lawsuits. To solve the issue, Muller founded the tech platform HR Acuity to help companies identify, track and investigate employee issues, which is now being used by companies such as Lyft and LinkedIn. About HR Acuity While you can't prevent every employee relations issue, you can change how you respond. HR Acuity is the only technology platform specifically built for employee relations management.

Do you have HR processes in place? Join us on this episode of the Innovation with Compliance Podcast with Deb Muller, the CEO and Founder of HR Acuity, and we’re chatting about how human resources related technology and processes can help mitigate risks and create a safer workplace for everyone. No rhyme or reason Deb noticed that most of the investigations being done within HR in an organization had no rhyme or reason. There were no processes as to how they should be done. Talking to clients, she recognized the need to incorporate technology and consistency into the investigation lifecycle, because someone can just walk in the door with something to tell you and upend your entire day — not to mention pose an incredible amount of risk for the organization. Having a system Human resources are your most expensive resources, yet most companies don’t think about it when they think about risk or compliance. What happens when someone makes an allegation?  A proper compliance process will make sure you get to the right result, stop the behavior, and mitigate the risk. What HR Acuity’s system allows you to do is identify if you’ve had similar issues in the past, spot the trends in behavior, and get ahold of them before they lead to something else. You can nip situations in the bud, and the data allows you to get smarter about your people and figure out how you’re going to train them. Interpreting data What’s great about the data is that you can see the outliers. Once you know your norm or your benchmark, you’ll be able to spot the spikes and dips — things that are unexpected. You might now know what that actually tells you, but what that does is it gives you the information to go and ask the questions and find out what’s going on. What changed? What’s different? Did something happen internally? Externally? 10 Ways Technology Can Impact Your Employee Relations Strategy This blog entry goes through all the different things you can get from technology. Many clients rely on the data to see if they’re at risk for class action suits, for example, where legal can just check the data as a “single source of truth,” go through historical information, and see if there’s anything they need to get on top of before it becomes a bigger issue. It’s not the issue, it’s how you handle it If a process exists that people see and believe in, they are going to be more accepting of the outcome. We hear that 75% of people don’t come forward, and Deb believes it’s not because they don’t know how to come forward. It’s because they don’t know what to expect when they come forward. It can be scary: Am I going to be retaliated against? Am I going to have to recount my story in front of the person? Are they not going to do anything about it at all? Will it be held against me? One important thing about having a process in place is sending a message that you have a process in place. When someone has an issue, they’re going to feel much more comfortable coming forward, so having processes in place is so important in helping to create that safe workplace.
