Responding to Shady Proposals Fairly
Collaborating with competitors or sharing sensitive market information can lead to antitrust violations with costly consequences. Many employees don’t realize how everyday actions may raise compliance risks. This microlesson provides skills training to help employees understand antitrust laws, avoid risky behavior, and promote fair competition in the workplace.
Microlesson Description
In this microlesson, we explain how competition laws can be very strict when it comes to competitors entering agreements where they set prices, the number of goods sold, or the quality of available goods. We teach employees how to spot these schemes and respond in a polite, professional, and smart way.
Key Concepts
- Employees should be on the lookout if a competitor proposes something that would set prices, divide customers, clients, or territories, force out other competitors, or limit the quantity of goods or services available.
- If a competitor does any of that: (1) clearly state that you don’t agree, (2) leave or do something you’ll remember, and then (3) tell your boss, a compliance leader or a legal leader what happened.
