To be more specific, claims of harassment, not  reasonably accommodating disabilities and work-life balance concerns  were all issues brought by employees forcing the company to answer to,  and defend itself. As the new CHRO you want to enact stronger policies  and guidelines to avoid these types of situations in the future.
