The Work Wire

Oct 3 2023 • 32 mins

This episode of WorkWire discussed inappropriate behavior in the workplace. Johnny and Bob talked about three recent examples - the CEO of BP resigning after admitting to inappropriate relationships with colleagues, a Michigan State football coach being suspended during a sexual harassment investigation, and the president of the Spanish soccer federation being suspended for kissing a player without consent.

They discussed how standards have changed from whether something is legally harassment to whether it shows good judgment. They also talked about the responsibilities of boards, HR, and individuals to address inappropriate behavior, ensure a safe workplace, and model ethical conduct.
