Have you ever read through an employee manual that left you scratching your head wondering what is allowed and what isn’t? Have you seen a co-worker share too much information with a client, skip paperwork that you were told is necessary, or use company property for personal reasons? Sometimes, what was once black-and-white goes into a gray area, leading others to accept and even duplicate deviant behavior. Workplaces big and small are facing this “new normal.”
Seemingly well-meaning actions can have negative consequences though, leading to mistrust, miscommunication, loss of revenue, and increased risk of fraud! Here, learn how to take back control and set clear guidelines and boundaries within your team. We will discuss workplace fraud with a theory-based presentation. Managers and employees alike can leave with an overview of the small behaviors we accept, ignore and allow in the workplace that can lead to larger issues. Know what to watch out for and how to protect yourself in this new normal. You’ll be able to reflect on your own workplaces and explore gray areas that are unintentionally creating an environment that increases risk.
Have our actions over time actually increased the risk of fraud? This session takes a look at workplace fraud from a different perspective. Brett Johnson will lead a theory-based presentation with an overview of the small behaviors we accept, ignore and allow in the workplace that can lead to larger issues, including various forms of fraud. Attendees will be able to reflect on their own workplaces and explore any gray areas that are unintentionally creating an environment that increases the risk of deviant behavior.
