Retaliation
Challenge of Addressing Retaliation
Retaliation and its impact on employees is a severe issue to organizations, yet it is often difficult to resolve. Retaliation rates are escalating, and studies show that 35% of employees fear retaliation from employers. This affects corporate culture and worker productivity and may sequentially lead to monetary fines in retaliation cases.
Managers, in many cases, may not even recognize that they are retaliating against employees. They may believe they are unbiased, while employees notice even apparent changes in behavior. Or they may see a whistleblower not as a relevant employee but as an obstacle to meeting departmental goals.
