All "corporate problems, are people problems".
This is a go-to phrase of mine, when doing turn-around for companies up to 40M, and Mergers, Acquisitions, Exits up to 200M."Good Companies" will follow the law, even if it costs more.
"Good Companies" value empathy over narcissism & anti-social traits that damage, like gossiping and cultures of speaking negatively or "spying" on co-workers (in contract to healthy open communication and focus on team spirit plus self- growth).
"Good Leaders" will screen for #narcissism, anti-social traits, insider espionage; preventing their hire; and also quickly firing those individuals who initially pass the screening before their true colors show.
One bad apple absolutely spoils the barrel. The rot spreads. (Homeless To Billionaire https://amzn.to/3OMjAhw.)
"Good Leaders" foster open round-table communication, and hears all parties side, at the same time.
(If ever there was a problem with employees, we'd have all people sit down at the table the first time, as private meetings encourage falsification and time to develop the tale, whereas hashing it all out at once, with all people, if you're trained in behaviorism, face reading & lie detection, the truth and lies are always transparent; the element of surprise wins the victory against the employee who is doing wrong.)
