The International Day Against Harassment and for Inclusion in the World of Work is critical because it highlights the deep consequences of a workplace culture that tolerates misconduct, blame, and poor communication. As seen in major business mishaps, a lack of respect for people leads to harmful outcomes—affecting individuals, organizations, and society at large. Integrity and inclusive environments are not just ideals; they are necessary for sustainable success. By fostering well-being, engagement, and accountability, we create workplaces where people are valued, empowered, and able to contribute meaningfully.
