Case Study Six

A Gift from Kenny

To make up for giving Jessica the inappropriate gift, Kenny decided to bring her flowers the next day. Jessica refused to take the flowers and made it very clear she would not accept any gifts from him.

How would you classify Kenny’s conduct?

The correct answer is unacceptable

Kenny’s conduct is definitely unacceptable, and it should be reported to a supervisor or HR so they can resolve the matter immediately. They may choose to speak with the driver directly about his inappropriate conduct, or take it up with the delivery company he works for.

To resolve this situation, management asked the delivery company to send a different driver in the future, if they wanted to keep the business.
