How Organizations Can Disincentivize Workplace Misconduct

In this episode of Coffee ‘n’ Law, host and First30 CEO Amy Davies speaks with KPMG workplace law Partner Jessica Kearsey about preventing and addressing misconduct in the workplace. Amy and Jessica discuss workplace harassment prevention, including employers’ obligations to have policies prohibiting workplace violence and harassment.
