Nearly half of U.S. employees reported that they observed misconduct in the workplace. This is both extremely concerning, but also mind-boggling that companies believe they can essentially get away with unethical or illegal practices without consequences, says APU professor CJ Sherman. In this episode, she talks with Dr. Linda Ashar about misconduct in the workplace, what measures need to be put in place to prevent it from happening, and how to address misconduct when it occurs. Hear examples of companies that engaged in gross misconduct and illegal activity like Wells Fargo, Volkswagen, and General Motors. Also learn what options employees have when they recognize misconduct, how to protect themselves from retaliation, and what policies companies need to have in place to encourage employees to report misconduct.
