A look at the cultures of fear, abuse and misbehavior in the workplace that are coming to light. How does this behavior start? What should you do about it?
This program initially aired Jan. 8, 2018
The national conversation about what is appropriate behavior in the workplace began with the #MeToo movement shining a lot on sexual misconduct by bosses.
Intertwined with that behavior are reports of workplace bullying and abusein general, including yelling and belittling of co-workers.
Wake Forest University business professor Sherry Moss says these environments lead to “a whole set of negative consequences for employees,” and they encourage the bullied “to become bullies themselves.”
Corporate leaders were quick to speak out about sexual harassment, but what is being done in the workplace about people in power mistreating employees? Why has that behavior been tolerated before?
Mike Collins asks experts in management about cultures of abuse in the workplace.
