In this week’s episode, Christel Best answers questions about workplace abuse and explains how leaders and colleagues can take action to prevent the various forms of harm it causes.

In this week's episode, I step into my role as the owner of Christel Best Training and sit down with my friend Sandy Forster to unpack the internet's fascination with the so-called "Coldplay Kiss Cam Catastrophe." Together, we explore the distinction between an office romance and an office affair, and examine the impact a public confrontation over a secret relationship can have on colleagues and family members.

In this week's episode, I focus on recent headlines about two topics I have discussed in the past: the dangers of synthetic hair and civil rights violations in the workplace.

First, I take a look at a federal bill package brought before the U.S. Congress to protect women from deadly toxins in their beauty products, noting that women of color are more likely to be exposed to harmful chemicals than other women.

I then move on to an Ohio headline about allegations of retaliation, sexual harassment, unfair pay practices, and discrimination at the Ohio Civil Rights Commission — the very organization tasked with investigating allegations of civil rights violations in Ohio.
