Discrimination, Exclusion, and Loss of Human Capital: What Went Wrong At Bon Appetit?

This session will introduce the 2020 controversy of discrimination at Bon Appetit and Conde Nast Entertainment that eventually resulted in firing at least 2 executives and at least 7 staff members’ quitting. We’ll discuss how this case can be used in courses to examine diversity, discrimination, culture, loss of human capital, and other topics. I will discuss how I use this case in Human Resource Management, but we will discuss how it might fit into Organizational Behavior or other management courses as well.
