The High Cost of Workplace Harassment

There are so many areas of concern when it comes to workplace harassment. Here we talk about the rise of the Me Too Movement, the high cost of legal expenses, the rising cost of out of court settlements not to mention lost productivity and lousy public relations...it's enough to make you re-think business. And, maybe that's the idea. Here I visit with Cynde Cronin and Ned Flynn from Aureon HR about all of that and more. Plus, Cynde has a story that you are not going to believe. There is an answer to helping business mitigate exposure...and we'll share it.
