In Andrea’s case she has to practice emotional distress based upon the mental pressures of the oil circumstances in the Middle East that also influence her job. According to the reading Andrea’s issues with work are not only causes her mental distress it’s also causing her to have an anxiety disorder. For example; if the oil export slows down because of the terrorists then that could cause the ships that deliver the company’s products not to arrive, and this may lead her to produce no money. Even though it’s not easy, in the end of Andrea's emotions have caused Andrea to respond to her circumstances in a way that is self-prophesy which is avoidance. In other words, she has chosen a response referred to the name, “syntoxic way or flight response”, which she states, "I'll quit.

Potential costs associated with sexual harassment would incur in both organizations and the individual employees. Next, we discuss six main current Human Resource (HR) challenges and implications. The challenges caused by sexual harassment in the workplace are that it can create an uncomfortable environment for employees, lawsuits that can result in costly amounts and ultimately give the company a bad reputation, lack of discretion during investigations of sexual harassment, the perception of what sexual harassment is, obtaining proof during an investigation, and different perceptions of sexual harassment due to cultural differences and diversity in a workplace. Furthermore, we provide five possible recommendations that can be implemented in organizational environments to reduce the risk factors involved with such harassment. These include a code of conduct/contracts to be read and signed by new employees, updating employee’s knowledge
This essay will argue that workers should worry about new information and surveillance technologies within their workforce simply because they have a right to their privacy, especially at their workplace. I will argue that worker paranoia, the Privacy Act and the misuse of technology have an effect in our workforce and society. A worker who knows that he/she is being monitored will constantly worry about why they are being watched and will be paranoid about it. The Privacy Act was created to ensure an individuals privacy, but does not outline anything about a person’s privacy at their work. Technology has changed over time and has become more advanced, but is misused in ways that are inappropriate and can invade a person’s privacy.
Ethics Dilemma Vignettes Team Exercise 2.4 page 49 Our group read each of the presented cases and discussed the extent to which the company’s action was either ethical or not. We use ethics principles and perceived moral intensity to justify our evaluation of each case. In case one, an employee blogged about negative claims against his employer that was negatively affected the employee’s career. In turn, cost the employee his job because the employer found the blog. We believe that both the employee and the employer were unethical in this case because it illustrates a degree of moral intensity.
What should the court decide? Why? > Background check is very important before hiring an employee because it presents the potential liability of employers for the harmful acts of the people they hire. Employers are generally responsible for the actions of their agents so they should avoid negligent hiring. If an employer fails to meet its duty to conduct an adequate background check and hires an unfit employee who uses his or her position to inflict harm on others, that employer may be liable for negligent hiring.

That is when the conduct is unwelcome; the conduct is severe, pervasive, and regarded by the claimant as so hostile or offensive as to alter his or her conditions of employment; and the conduct is such that a reasonable person would find it hostile or offensive. From the case Lavonda is complaining to the HR manageress Karline that she can’t get things done due to the situation on grounds. Allen is also undermining Lavonda’s position with her sales staff. To assert a hostile work environment, an employee need not prove that it seriously affected his or her psychological well-being nor caused an injury; the decisive issue is whether the conduct interfered with the claimant’s work performance. Failure to remedy alleged instances of sexual harassment:
A whistleblower is “a person who reveals wrongdoing within an organization to the public or to those in positions of authority” (“Dictionary”). Most companies in this day and age have regulations on how to act if someone needs to blow the whistle. With the thin line from right and wrong for whistle blowing, you could go from having a job to being jobless in a day if you do not follow the corrective action. While whistleblowers like David Tuff and Cynthia Cooper can influence how a company operates, they must decide how to face the risk resulting to blowing the whistle. Most successful companies today have employees that follow their rules, but if they have a problem they will follow company rule and report it to the person in charge.
Effective Communication Case Study Analysis Effective communication is essential when dealing with any problem or crisis that either directly or indirectly affects the public.

This includes actions to take following an incident, who to contact and how soon to respond.
