What is the difference between an employment law such as the Fair Labor Standards Act and a company's employment policy about payroll, overtime work, hourly wage and salary levels? What do you think is the most difficult employment policy to consistently enforce in the workplace? And explain why you think that it is so difficult for managers and owners to get the enforcement of this policy right every time? Conduct online research: Read about Uber's Sexual Harassment Investigation but he EEOC after Susan Fowler, a former Uber engineer, published an account of the sexism and sexual harassment she experienced during her time there in February 2017. Go this link or find your own research: https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2019/12/18/uber-sexual-harassment-investigation-me-too/2694091001/ Do you think that the former engineer was acting consistent with a code of ethics when she posted about sexual harassment in her former employer, Uber's workplace? Could she have acted differently? Conduct a search to find the "Covington Report" which outlined the consulting group's recommendations after evaluating 3 of Uber's issues: (1) Uber's workplace environment as it related to the allegations of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation in Fowler's post; (2) whether the company's policies and practices were sufficient to prevent and properly address discrimination, harassment, and retaliation in the workplace; and (3) what steps Uber could take to ensure that its commitment to a diverse and inclusive workplace was reflected not only in the company's policies but made real in the experiences of each of Uber's employees. Submit the link to the Covington Report you discovered in your research. Review the Covington Report and identify in your opinion at least 3 recommendations that you evaluated as on-point and address the inappropriate sexual harassment issues. Review the Covington Report and identify in your opinion at least 3 recommendations that you didn't understand how they are related to the objective of preventing any gender discrimination or future sexual harassment in the Uber workplace.
