Crime is unacceptable , irrespective of the person or magnitude. But what is so disheartening is the fact that people who're educated, professional and have a decent life to live, commit incorrigible acts which not only drives them to shame, but also leaves a big question mark in our minds about the safety of employees in an organization.
We've been bombarded with news everyday about women being harassed or sexually exploited at work. While a few of these stories become sensational cover stories and breaking news topics, there are thousands of women out there who simply hide such incidents to save their reputation in the society. Such is the state of women who are considered to be equal to men when it comes to the modern world.
With a steady spurt in the number of incidents, organizations are slowly stepping up the ante on work related crimes as such incidents not only affect the lives of the employees, but it also dents the reputation or image of the organization to a huge extent. However, the effectiveness of the action taken is quite questionable when it is the person who is on the top of the hierarchy, who commits the crime. We must understand that ethics plays a vital role when it comes to addressing such situations and when work ethics is missing, there is not much that one can do to instill discipline and morality in an organization.
It must be understood that women are not tools to be exploited but similar entities like us who deserve respect and care on an equal scale. Professional ethics is the need of the hour. The judicial system needs to tighten up too, to grant an immediate judgement and punishments on crimes relating to a workplace.
If your boss is a sleaze, do not be scared to stand up and scream at him. It could cost your job, but it could potentially save several other people from getting caught in the hands of a perverted superior. Wake up before it is too late..
