Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Christie is currently involved in confronting the employee with the evidence. This step should be taken after gathering sufficient evidence to confirm the suspicion of unethical behavior by an employee. It is important to maintain a calm and professional approach while discussing the situation with the employee. Filing a lawsuit should be considered only as a last resort when all other avenues have been exhausted. Correcting the conditions that led to the problem and following the organization's procedure are important steps in preventing future incidents of unethical behavior but are not applicable in the current scenario as Christie has already gathered evidence and is confronting the employee.
