You have just received a document from the DogsTogs hotline firm that captures an overnight report. The person calling in remained anonymous and reported that garment staff are being forced to work double shifts at reduced pay. They are being threatened by DogsTogs local management that they will be fired if they tell headquarters. It sounds like local management is pushing production so that they can receive better bonuses. But the workers are paying the price. You have a lot to think about — and you need to think quickly. You also need to notify your Executive Team and the Board.
Discuss what your immediate and short term actions would be.
For instance…
Will you get on a plane to investigate?
Will you send someone else?
Hire investigators?
Will you reach out to any cross-functional teams or employees that will be impacted by this?
Should you do a press release now or at some point in the future?
