Employee Relations: 10.3 Million Reasons to Use helpdeskHR
The hits just keep on comin'.
Now Best Buy has settled for 10.3 million dollars to plaintiffs and their lawyers. Settling means the company felt they would lose in court and pay even more or that the cost and ultimate award would be higher.
The charge was discrimination in promotions and higher paying sales jobs for female, black and Latino employees.
It appears Best Buy did just that! Why would any company do that???
All they had to do is make opportunities available equally to all employees and promote on merit. So it comes back to managing people well and with respect. There are prior posts on this very subject on this blog in the subject of company culture. Oh yeah, that would also be following the law (a nod to YFHRG who is Your Father's HR Guy who sometimes acts as a lawgiver.)
OR, they can give away $10,300,000.
