"We're Not Family"
Overview:
“We Are Not Family” challenges the popular workplace metaphor of referring to employees as “family.” While the intention is often positive, this language can blur professional boundaries, create unrealistic expectations, and even exclude employees who do not connect with that concept.
Session Takeaways:
-
Recognize the limitations of the “family” metaphor at work
-
Reframe culture around teamwork, not kinship
-
Apply practical strategies to strengthen employee relations
Presenter:
Aaron Palacios
Director of Human Resources at Standley Systems
