BELA Asks: How Do I Keep RIFs from Hurting Our Speak-Up Culture?

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 BELA members can submit questions regarding ethics and compliance and our internal experts will provide an answer plus helpful resources with information. And since there is no competition in compliance, we respond thematically to high-level questions in the BELA Asks series for the benefit of E&C teams everywhere.
