Do you think Ms. Browne Sanders had the basis for a sexual harassment suit? Why?
I believe that Ms. Browne Sanders did in fact have the basis for a sexual harassment suit because her claims of retaliation from management after coming out about the verbal abuse and sexual harassment from her superiors, to me, are proven by her being let go shortly after bringing them to light. Not only that, but the jury found her case compelling enough to award her the $11 million (Sandomir, 2007). Sexual harassment cases like this are hard to make due to the reliance on the credibility of those involved (the victim and the perpetrator), one of which has it in his best interest to deny the claims outright. This leaves the victim in a vulnerable situation where retaliation can occur, such as this, because of the “he said she said” nature of the issue. A study done in 2023 showed the decline of women who report their harassment from 66% the previous year down to 59% (Cox, 2023). This was…
Do you think Ms. Browne Sanders had the basis for a sexual harassment suit? Why?
I think Ms. Browne Sanders had a valid basis for a sexual harassment suit against the New York Knicks and her coach. The jury found that she was harassed and that the Knicks retaliated against her for it. According to the New York Times article, the evidence used in court showed a pattern of inappropriate behavior by Thomas, and this created a hostile work environment for her. Sexual harassment cases often use circumstantial evidence rather than direct proof, as harassment usually doesn't leave much concrete evidence. The Employee Rights Attorney Group article explains that harassment is illegal if it changes an employee's work conditions, making it difficult to do their job. Browne Sanders’ case cleared this bar, as she lost her job after reporting the harassment. Her claims were credible because a jury determined that the Knicks organization failed to address the issue appropriately. Retaliation can also…

- While the core responsibilities of a Training and Development Specialist are generally the same worldwide, there can be differences based on the location. In Mexico City, for example, the specialist may need to consider local labor laws, cultural norms, and business practices when developing training programs. They may also need to be bilingual, or even multilingual, to effectively communicate with employees. Additionally, they may need to have a deeper understanding of the local market and industry to tailor training programs accordingly. In contrast, a Training and Development Specialist in the U.S. may focus more on compliance with U.S. labor laws and regulations, and may not need to be as multilingual or have as deep an understanding of international markets. i need help understanding this more in detailarrow_forwardI have been hired by the Transnational Electronics (TE) Corporation, an international retail electronics company, as their Human Resources Director.

Thai and Vietnamese agriculture authorities, the world's second and third largest rice exporters, met in Bangkok on Friday to explore ways to support their farmers and rice sectors and control rising production costs. Thai government spokeswoman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana said, "We aim to raise rice prices, increase farmer income and increase bargaining power in the global market," after talks at a farm expo.

- High Supply Risk: Climate change is disrupting major rice-producing countries like Thailand and Vietnam. Limited global trade availability (only 7-10% of total production is exported). Currency fluctuations, freight costs, and government policies further threaten supply stability. 2. High Impact on Business: Rice is a staple food in Singapore, crucial for national food security. A supply shortage could lead to price inflation and food security concerns. Dependence on a few key suppliers makes supply chain diversification challenging. Procurement Strategy for Singapore: Diversify sourcing (e.g., increase imports from Myanmar). Invest in climate-smart rice research to improve resilience. Stockpile rice reserves to buffer against supply shocks. Strengthen trade agreements with key exporters like Thailand and Vietnam.

The intensity and inconsistency of rain in 2021 has compromised the production of Thailand's most important crop, causing market turbulence, food security concerns, and leaving millions of Thai households facing economic difficulties. The industry is highly vulnerable to climate change, with Thailand ranking ninth in the world on the Global Climate Risk Index. Timing is crucial in rice growing, but the current climate conditions are making it futile. Climate change is expected to exacerbate inequalities, with rice production potentially increasing in irrigated areas while being stunted in rainfed regions. By mid-century, Thailand could expect a more than 10% decline in its overall rice yield, affecting regional food stability.
