The 'getting disappeared' trend

According to one former CPO, the phenomenon of workers abruptly having to leave the workplace after raising issues or concerns is not as isolated as one might think or expect. Here, she unpacks why workers might be "disappeared" from a workplace, what it says about employers' thinking, and the impacts upon workforces across the market. In this episode of The HR Leader Podcast, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Carole Cooper, former chief people officer and Carole Cooper Consulting founder, to discuss the increasing prevalence of instances of workers "getting disappeared" from the workplace, why employers may behave in such ways, the flow-on consequences for remaining staff in the workplace, the legal and regulatory parameters around such action, how HR can respond, and the evergreen need to build and maintain the right kind of culture – particularly against top-down issues.
