Meeting with HR

Meeting with HR
I completed an “anonymous” survey after my first 90 days at my company, where I candidly shared my concerns about my difficult boss. Now, HR has requested a meeting with me. Should I be worried?

  1. It’s understandable to feel anxious about the meeting with HR, especially after being honest about your experiences. However, it’s important to remember that HR typically wants to gather more information to address any issues and improve the work environment. Here are a few steps you can take to prepare:

    1. Stay Calm: Try not to jump to conclusions. HR might just want to discuss your feedback and understand your perspective better.

    2. Be Prepared: Think about specific instances that illustrate your concerns. This can help you provide constructive feedback. Focus on how the situation affects your work and the team.

    3. Document Everything: If you’ve had experiences that support your claims, write them down. This can help you articulate your points clearly during the meeting.

    4. Know Your Rights: Familiarize yourself with your company’s policies regarding workplace concerns and employee treatment, so you know your rights going into the meeting.

    5. Be Professional: Approach the meeting with a mindset of wanting to improve the situation rather than just venting frustrations.

    6. Stay Objective: Focus on behaviors and actions rather than making personal attacks. This can help HR take your concerns seriously and lead to constructive conversations.

    Overall, you’re not necessarily “cooked”; HR’s goal should be to create a positive work environment. Good luck!
