    Misconduct in the News: McDonald's

    Saying you don't condone sexual harassment is not enough if you don't back it up with swift action. Harassment, assault, retaliation.

    Misconduct in the News: Chipotle

    Misconduct can be perpetrated by or against any gender. Don't allow gender biases to influence your view when you receive an allegation. Also, action speaks louder than words. Your policy only carries the worth of your action.  Articles Used:  1. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/chipotle-paying-95000-to-end-sexual-harassment-case-where-male-employee-said-his-female-boss-made-life-miserable-2019-12-04  2. https://www.hrdive.com/news/chipotle-settles-eeoc-suit-alleging-worker-was-locked-in-freezer-after-repo/568522/  3. https://www.eeoc.gov/newsroom/chipotle-pay-95000-settle-eeoc-sexual-harassment-and-retaliation-lawsuit#:~:text=%2D%20Fast%2Dfood%20chain%20Chipotle%20Mexican,the%20federal%20agency%20announced%20today.   Music Credits:  Spy Glass Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/​...   *****Contact me to share your workplace story for our series: Misconduct in Real Life.

    Misconduct Thoughts: Free Speech in the Workplace

    Your company has policies. Your company has values. What speech you allow or disallow is your choice, but it is important that you apply and enforce the policy equally. Disagreement does not always equal offensive just because someone says it is.   Articles Used:  1. https://www.complyright.com/policies/can-employees-exercise-complete-freedom-of-speech-in-the-workplace  2. https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/legal-and-compliance/employment-law/pages/employee-free-speech-in-the-workplace.aspx   Music Credits:  Spy Glass Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...   *****Contact me to share your workplace story for our series: Misconduct in Real Life.

    Misconduct in the News: Dark Horse Comics

    Let's talk about how Dark Horse Comics went from referring to Scott Allie's tendency to bite others as a joke to finally being forced to take appropriate disciplinary action. Why was he allowed to continue in his job for so long when his bad behavior was so well known in the industry?   Articles Used: 1. Twitter Feed of @ShawnaGore 2.

    If I Were in Charge: Training All

    How much more effective would your team be if everyone knew and understood the roles of each team member? Does your manager know what you do? Do you understand why your manager makes specific demands? When everyone is trained in a silo, there is no clear communication or collaboration. If I were in charge, I would utilize a comprehensive training model.   Music Credits: Spy Glass Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...   *****Contact me to share your workplace story for our series: Misconduct in Real Life***** #titleix #titlenine #titleixcoordinator #investigator #corporatetraining #misconduct

    If I Were in Charge: Alcohol, Work and Bad Behavior

    In this episode of the Marcus Williams Training Academy Podcast, we talk about alcohol in the workplace and the increased risk of misconduct that alcohol consumption creates. Alcohol is strongly tied to workplace misconduct and poor decision making. Creating a culture where meetings, parties, or relationships revolve around alcohol is creating unnecessary risk and liability. It also alienates and creates discrimination against those who don't drink for personal, health, religious, or other reasons. If I were in charge, well, that's what this episode is all about.   Music Credits: Spy Glass Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Links to articles used in the podcast: https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/hr-topics/employee-relations/pages/alcohol-and-work-holiday-parties.aspx https://www.ethoscopywriting.com/blog/2017/1/30/how-many-drinks-should-i-have-at-a-business-meeting-or-happy-hour https://www.inc.com/john-discala/how-to-lead-a-successful-business-meeting-over-drinks.html Transcript: https://www.williamsconsultgroup.com/forum/podcast-episodes

    Misconduct Myths: Preventing Misconduct Through Hiring

    Although it is important to conduct thorough background and reference checks before hiring, there is no way to prevent your employees from engaging in future misconduct. You can minimize the risk but never make it go away. Preventing misconduct involves good hiring practices, good policy, training, and a culture built on trust.   Music Credits: Spy Glass Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Listen on your favorite podcast app or read the transcript at: https://www.williamsconsultgroup.com/forum/podcast-episodes/misconduct-myths-preventing-misconduct-through-hiring?origin=business_manager  Articles cited:  https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2016/10/14/corrupt-ncis-agent-who-was-besotted-with-fat-leonard-begs-judge-for-mercy/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/ncis-special-agent-shared-classified-information-with-her-terrorist-suspect-lover-prosecutors-say/2018/10/02/d1ba3140-c65b-11e8-9b1c-a90f1daae309_story.html
