Question

Additionally, through laws like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, firms are required not to discriminate in the hiring or compensation of their employees. These laws all impact the way that employers and employees can interact. Societal influences can have an impact on the employer/employee relationship too. If a firm has a poor reputation or stands for certain principles or believes in certain things, then both the prospective employees and current employees may choose not to work for that firm. If for example, an employer has a scandal relating to sexual discrimination, such as the McDonald's case study, then employees working at the firm may decide to quit because they don't want to work for a company where that sort of behavior takes place. Prospective employees too, may reconsider working at McDonald's for the same reasons. When societal issues start to seep into the employer/employee relationship, the firms may need to change their policies or viewpoints and build more goodwill to attract or keep employees.
