5 Things / making it right

After a two-year investigation that culminated in a lawsuit this July, the company is making it right, in a systemic, but also authentic, way. It takes a lot of courage to admit mistakes, but when leaders do that, it can become a catalyst for a more psychologically safe work environment and a significant change in culture.
