My Silence Is Not For Sale with Andrea Morehead

End Workplace Abuse is actively advocating for a law to protect workplace abuse victims and witnesses. The proposed Workplace Psychological Safety Act mandates independent investigations. Human Resources is not your friend. They work on behalf of the company to protect it from liability. I wish this law had been in place five years ago.
