Integrity in the Workplace

Many of my clients come to The Ottinger Firm because they are victims of discrimination or harassment. Or, they have been laid off and would like someone to review their severance agreement.

However, in the last few weeks I have noticed an increase in the number of clients coming to The Ottinger Firm for an entirely different reason. These clients are looking to leave their job not because they are victims of discrimination or harassment, but rather they feel that their boss or upper management lacks integrity. These clients vary greatly in terms of their salaries, responsibilities and duties. However, their grievances are the same--they do not want to continue to work for a company (or person) that they feel lacks integrity.

While companies have finally caught on to the necessity of sexual harassment training, "integrity" is something that is rarely addressed--most likely because "integrity" is more subjective and hard to explain to someone who just doesn't have it.
