Preventing Retaliation in the Workplace™ (for Managers)

45 Minutes Popular Level: Intermediate Rating

Help your management team take a proactive approach to creating and maintaining a respectful organizational culture in order to remain legally compliant and to ensure adherence to organizational policies! An essential element in maintaining that respectful workplace is to foster a trusting environment where people feel safe to raise concerns about illegal or unsafe behavior without fear of retaliation. When people believe that who they are and what they do is respected, conflict, tension, complaints, grievances, lawsuits and turnover go down—while retention, morale and productivity go up.

Description

Here are a few important thoughts to consider when it comes to retaliation:

  • A claim of retaliation can be brought and be successful even if the employee’s original complaint about an illegal, unsafe or unethical act (protected activity) is unfounded.
  • Retaliation complaints stand on their own merits and are separate from the protected activity surrounding them.
  • Managers must be especially cognizant of the perception of their actions in a situation involving a performance issue with an employee who has engaged in a protected activity. In these cases, it's vital you get the experts in your organization involved.
  • To help avoid retaliation, you should always get help from the experts in your organization to investigate and resolve claims of illegal, unsafe or unethical actions. You should always investigate the facts thoroughly before you take action.
