Trying to keep the attitude in your workplace positive? Watch out, the National Labor Relations Board might object. The board released a decision earlier this month objecting to elements of the Values and Standards of Behavior Policy at Hills and Dales General Hospital in Cass City, Mich.—a policy seemingly designed to eliminate attitude problems at work and reinvigorate workplace culture.

The parts of the policy rejected by the board forbid negative comments from employees as well as unprofessional activities. The case serves as a warning that the labor board may take issue with broad language in employee behavior policies, no matter how well-intentioned these policies might be.
