skandal

In HR, “skandal” refers to a controversy or scandal involving an organization or its employees that can affect its reputation, operations, or legal standing. Such events may include unethical behavior, financial misconduct, harassment, or breaches of conduct that lead to public scrutiny. Scandals can result in a loss of trust among employees, clients, and the public, and often necessitate internal investigations, media handling, and public relations strategies to mitigate damage. Organizations strive to maintain ethical standards to prevent scandals, as the repercussions can be significant, including legal consequences, loss of business, or diminished employee morale.
