Question #1
Three issues Britney needs to consider: * Joan and Natalie’s conversation about her sexual harassment * The Max MacSweeney issue of visiting undesirable websites at work * Cheating of two warehouse supervisor with the company and Paul didn’t inform top management even though he knew about the fraud
The first issue should be addressed first because Natalie story was spreading all around Winnipeg and Wilmington media as well as in front of the Ontario human rights commission. Therefore, they should solve this issue as soon as possible before it becomes difficult to maintain a company 's reputation in the present market.Secondly, it can also spoil the Natalie’s image in the society as it is important to maintain the women image in the society.
The Max MacSweeney issue should be considered at last because the problem is inside the company and only people from head office know about this problem. So they can address other issues first those are more important and harming the company reputation instead of spending their time to solve other problems.

Question #2
Britney should give first and last warning to Joan Jorgenson about the incident. To improve the policy of employee communications, the company should make a policy not to spread employee personal topic with other employees of the company. The company should also make an agreement that employees should not speak with the media without the company’s permission and if employees are allowed to speak with the media than they should not talk about specific topic to media which can be harmful to the company’s image. in short, company should have policies like open door policy and in-house complaint procedures so employees can meet their supervisor or another member of management to resolve workplace conflict.
Question #3
We would like to recommend two disciplinary actions that Britney takes with respect to the case involving Max MacSweeney. The first one is hot-stove rule and another

    At this point when Ms. Darcy filed a formal complaint with the company where action took place, but here is where the issue lays for me. The action I believe was taken a bit late and effortless in regards to an employee that was harassed and made all notes to confront and also move to another supervisor. 2nd point would be that after action was taken, suspending the supervisor in this conduct was not sufficient because upon their return I am only still few hundred feet away from that same uncomforted. This action was delayed and not handled properly as it should have been.…

    This is how Jenson and her fellow woman peers felt about working at Eveleth Taconite Co. These woman worked alongside many men who used abusive language, stalking, threats, intimidation, and sexual harassment. Jenson tried fighting for herself and others by filing a complaint, but that made matters worse because then the retaliation was slashed tires. This lead to Jenson asking for compensation for damages and mental anguish, but Eveleth Taconite Co. did not agree. Eventually Jenson left because of post-traumatic stress disorder. After years of fighting they finally came to an agreement and settled outside of court. Eveleth Taconite Co. should have handled the situation from the beginning by having classes and training on sexual harassment and holding people accountable to not have a hostile work environment. Instead they chose to hide it, and not treat all their employees especially the woman equally. That was a hard and expensive lesson they had to learn, but it allowed to show other companies to be aware of sexual harassment, and to know that isn’t something that should be…

    2. From my point of view, both of compensatory damages and punitive damages are the two most appropriate penalties for Ralphs. In my opinion, the 33.3 million penalties are excessive. However, how much the penalty could be is depend on how much damages Misiolek made on victims. In addition, the Ralphs Company should pay punitive damages for those women because Ralphs did not do a good job on complaints area and make a lot of employees feel terrible. I would like to say that it is hard to judge whether or not it is fair. As I talked before, how much damages they could get from Ralphs depends on the each particular situation. Furthermore, harassment is not like raping. In other words, the final judgment at least is not extreme.…
