When Maalick originally went to Marta Ford he spoke to her about the questions regarding his religion his co-coworkers had been asking. Rather than disregard his concerns she should have been proactive in addressing the issue rather than waiting until it got worse. She could have held a meeting with everyone in the facility and reminded them of the company policy regarding harassment. According to Gomez-Mejia, L., Balkin, D., & Cardy, R. (2012) companies that are proactive toward issues are better prepared to deal with future problems. Had she done this the issue likely would not have escalated to the point that it became a hostile work environment for Maalick. To prevent the situation from happening in the future Marta Ford could provide additional training to all employees and require annual retraining so that all employees and management are aware of company policies.
Prejudicial behaviour or behaviour that can be seen as aggressive, hostile, antagonistic, sarcastic, belittling or discriminative should never be shown to colleagues, parents, staff or children. If there is a disagreement, don't make assumptions or make personal comments regarding the person’s character or personality, the content should be kept professional. Any negative issues previously dealt with should not be brought up again. You should make a conscious effort not to react too quickly to what might be an unintentional comment to which an apology may follow, given time.

I think that management needs to take action. They should review all the memos sent, how they would both want to fix the situation, and improve upon the problem for starters. In a case like this management options are limited, theoretically nothing was done wrong. So at the end of the day they can pretend like nothing ever happened and move on. Or they can address the problem. If their goal is to keep leigh in her managerial position they will have to address this communication breakdown. I would also look to implement a company policy to help deter this from happening in the future. Even something as simple as a response to one of Leigh's Memo’s. Such as i am too busy, i'm sorry i don't have time. Instead he chose to blatantly disrespect her. That could go a long way in improving workplace morale, and
Rachel had multiple areas where she lacked professionalism. A glaring one is the fact that she asked for this presentation and is completely unprepared. She does not seem to care about the presentation whatsoever. Rachel does not have the data for the presentation, she does not have the meting room ready, and she does not even have copies printed. Another area where Rachel failed in regards to professionalism is her lack of neatness and usage of electronics. Rachel is listening to music when the boss walks in. She also takes a phone call in the middle of a meeting and tries to get the boss to leave. She also lacks neatness with papers all over her desk. She also tries to eat in front of her boss and then gets food all over her attire. She then

According to the articles Jamie’s boss Mike Rollo was allegedly sexually harassing Jamie, “verbally calling her names”.4 As an employee as well as being someone’s boss, I believe the person in charge should be the individual who is stopping occurrences like this from happening, rather than being the individual who is sexually harassing one of their employees.
