Description

Reductions in force (RIFs) are deeply unsettling for any workplace, often prompting remaining employees to keep a low profile in order to protect their job. Unfortunately, this can also erode their willingness to call out witnessed misconduct. In this episode, Erica Salmon Byrne, Chef Strategy Officer of Ethisphere and Executive Chair of the Business Ethics Leadership Alliance (BELA), discusses how organizations can mitigate the impact RIFs have on speak-up culture.


This episode stems from the BELA concierge service, in which our internal experts will answer any E&C question a BELA member poses. And since there is no competition in compliance, we respond to anonymized, high-level concierge questions here for the benefit of E&C teams everywhere.
