Hi: Thank you for tuning in!
This episode is the follow up to a story I talked about in the second half of the last podcast. The story was about a top government official in Canada who was forced to resign from her job when accusations of abusive behavior and maintaining a toxic work environment forced a workplace investigation which became public.
Information I cover in this episode include:
-what current and former staffers said about the work environment the official presided over;
-the resulting report by an outside consulting company that investigated the allegations;
-the reaction by the official to the reports of her behavior;
-lack of thorough vetting that could have predicted her performance related to how she led staff in the job;
-how exceptions to policies can backfire in a costly way;
-how protecting poor managers can be costly.
I posted a bit more on my blog some of the information that I discussed on the podcast: https://workplacefairnessanddignity.blogspot.com/. Do stop by.
