Avoid deceptive practices: Is the
organization falsifying, omitting or
choosing not to learn about or share
important information that would
cause employees to resist its efforts? Are
changes to procedures and equipment
that make employees feel safe — but have
little impact to overall health and safety
— clearly and consistently advertised as
distinct from actual safety efforts?
Freedom from stigma or reprisal:
Are employees able to provide critical
feedback about working during the
pandemic without fear of retaliation
from the organization or co-workers?
Are there accessible, anonymous or
confidential methods for employees to
provide feedback? Does the organization
have a clear action team responsible for
responding to such feedback in a timely
manner?
