Corporations are always protecting against reputational damage of one form or another. That has been magnified with social media and viral videos showing unflattering off-duty employee conduct that does not align with the public stances a company has taken on important social issues.

If “Karen” or “Ken” conduct becomes known within your organization, what will you do?
