Mad Men Era: Is It Really Over?
While "Mad Men" was only a television show, or so people try to tell me, the workplace implications resonated with so many of us in the HR community. Perhaps that is because, while much has changed, some things are still painfully similar. The show dealt with sexual harassment, both quid pro quo and hostile work environment, boys’ clubs, mentorship, racial bias, alcohol at work and more. We still deal with these very same issues today, albeit often in more subtle forms. Join this presentation to discover what we can learn from Don, Peggy, Joan, Roger and other Mad Men friends. All mad HR men and women are welcome!
