Session Description:
Organizational culture is not shaped by stated values or well-written policies - it is shaped by what leaders consistently allow to continue. Over time, unaddressed behaviors become normalized, trust erodes, and HR is left managing the downstream impact.

In this session, participants will examine how tolerance quietly defines culture and the real costs organizations pay when leadership avoids action. More importantly, the session shifts from diagnosis to direction, outlining how HR can move organizations from acceptance to accountability. Through research, real-world HR scenarios, and a practical action framework, attendees will explore the levers HR can use to interrupt cultural drift, elevate leadership behavior, and protect organizational credibility -without overstepping authority or becoming the “culture police.”

Learning Objectives:

• Evaluate how tolerance of inappropriate or misaligned behaviors contributes to organizational risk and culture degradation.
• Describe the HR implications of leadership inaction, including its effect on employee engagement, turnover, and trust.
• Apply a practical HR action framework to move organizations from acceptance and tolerance to clarity, accountability, and action - without relying on formal authority.
