What are the legal ramifications of being pressured to act unethically at work?
In this fascinating episode of The Floorplan, Libby Sander speaks with Bond University’s Dr Wendy Bonython about moral injury in the workplace.
So what's moral injury?
Glad you asked!
Moral injury is the psychological harm caused when employees are pressured to act against their ethical values or witness wrongdoing they feel powerless to stop.
Dr Bonython explains why moral injury is becoming increasingly recognised across industries, the toll it can take on mental health and wellbeing, and why fear, economic uncertainty and organisational pressure often stop people from speaking up.
A thought-provoking discussion on ethics, leadership and workplace culture.
