Summary Introduction

Case summary:

Marching employees through stores in handcuffs to discourage theft and other infractions. At a Target store in Pasadena, California, an employee who was subjected to the walk of shame was released and never charged with a crime. However, the emotional distress of the incident led to the individual later committing suicide. After the incident went public, other Target employee in other stores told of their experiences either witnessing or experiencing the walk of shame. Target Corporation denies that it has any such policy.

To determine:

The things you think of the "supposed" practice-positive or negative.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

I think of the this "supposed" practice negative, as this practice demotivates the employees and harms self-respect of the individual. Companies should adopt firing the individual convicted with crime silently and main total secrecy with his or her identity.

Conclusion

Companies need to think employees as an individual who is serving them not slaving them. Self-respect is an essential part of everybody's life.

I participated in a team tasked with developing and implementing a new customer service training program. The team included five members: myself, two training specialists, an HR representative, and a team leader. Our work environment was a mix of virtual and collocated, with weekly in-person meetings and frequent virtual check-ins.
