Have you ever heard the phrase "HR is not your friend"? 

For millions of employees, this isn't just a saying; it's a lived experience that damages resilience and psychological safety. But where does this deep-seated distrust come from?

In this eye-opening episode of The Resilience Catalyst, I'm joined by Jonathan Villaire, founder of the HR Accountability Project. We dive deep into the systemic issues plaguing the HR profession, including the shocking SHRM lawsuit that became an "embarrassment for the profession," and why retaliation claims make up nearly half of all discrimination complaints in the US.

This is a must-watch for any employee who has felt let down by workplace systems, and for any leader who wants to understand the root cause of disengagement.

In this episode, we discuss:
► The real-world experiences driving the "Don't Trust HR" narrative.
► The case for professional licensure for HR is similar to that of doctors and teachers.
► How a lack of trust in workplace systems directly erodes employee resilience.
► Why "lunch and learn" wellness sessions fail to address systemic burnout.
