Uber has been the subject of vast criticism recently for its toxic culture, including issues ranging from sexual harassment to discrimination. The ride-hailing app's problems prompted an internal review from former U.S Attorney General Eric Holder's law firm, and Mr. Holder came back with a comprehensive list of recommendations for improvement.
Below is a list of four lessons every executive can take away from Mr. Holder’s recommendations to the company’s leadership.
- Executive accountability and board oversight are important not only to increase productivity for company leaders, but to establish trust within an organization.
- A cohesive company culture that highlights positive and inclusive action from the top down will set an example and encourage employees to hold each other accountable to a common standard.
- A standardized complaint process is vital to make employees feel protected and confident reporting any misconduct.
- Limiting the alcohol budget for work events and after-hours meetings can cut down on the amount of alcohol-fueled misconduct and also create safe spaces for employees who do not feel comfortable with excessive alcohol consumption.
