Ethics courses. I find that HR is heavily trained by legal principles but there should also be ethical principles used in decision making.
Also bias & diversity training that is broad and captures nepotisim, favortism, hidden biases etc…

Love the ethics side. Definitely need to include a session on ethical decision making. And DEI is an extremely important topic. I agree that should be included as well. I don't think most people even understand that they have hidden biases.

From someone who has had horrible managers, all in a row, how to be a good human while also leading. I have had favoritism, gossip, undermining, and lack of understanding of my role, only to eventually get fired by my last manager who was very intimidated by my knowledge. She had little common sense of how her tone and actions affected the team, this kind of thing shouldn't need to be taught, but it is.

Wow! Very VALID points and like the ideas. Basically - how to be a decent human being while leading a team. This brings up some extremely great points. Thanks for the comment.

It's so tiring that this type of behavior is not only tolerated but rewarded.
