Managing Misconduct During Career Moments

June 26, 2013

This study from CEB finds that changes in employees' work environment -- dubbed "career moments" -- can disrupt established patterns of workplace behavior and increase the risk of misconduct. High-change environments, where employees experience multiple career moments during a year, can have as much as three times the amount of misconduct as more stable work environments. Executives who can identify the most important career moments and adjust their management approaches and risk mitigation strategies accordingly are able to significantly reduce misconduct and its potential damage to their companies.
