In this episode, I unpack what the phrase “hostile work environment” really means — and just as importantly, what it doesn’t. If you’re a small business owner or a first time leader hearing that term and feeling a chill go down your spine, this one is for you. We’ll take you beyond the panic and into the practical: the legal standard, the “red flag” behaviors, and how you lead responsibly (without overreacting or ignoring something that matters).
