dc.description.abstract | The harassing practices that occur in the workplace and the devastating
consequences generated in labor relations, in individuals, besides hurting human
dignity, impact the business activity and, ultimately, society as a whole. From this
comes the necessary change in organizational culture and systemic control. The
general objective of this study is to contribute to the worker's health in the workplace
through the implementation of good practices in Human Rights, as a corporate policy,
and to reflect on sustainability gains. The problem that the research intends to
address is circumscribed to the following question: How can we adequately respond
to the negative consequences caused by bullying that impact worker health and
corporate economics? The hypothesis is that, through the use of the control tools that
make up the compliance program, there is a possibility of adequately responding to
the problem because, with the implementation it is possible to promote decent work
and comply with the Sustainable Development Goal No. 08 of the UN Agenda 2030.
To this end, as specific objectives, the investigation has as its research path, firstly,
(i) the analysis of the normative contours that permeate business and human rights;
(ii) the contextualization of human rights, the new forms of management such as
compliance and its convergence with the Brazilian Decree 9.571/2018; and, (iii) the
attribution of corporate social responsibility and the respective achievement to align
decent work with sustainable global goals. As a research methodology, the method
used was inductive, since we started from the particular investigation of the work
environment and the worker, victim of moral harassment, to present a general and
global organizational response. The approach of the dissertation was made through
the transaction costs as a category cutout of the Economic Analysis of Law. And, as
research techniques, the qualitative and exploratory descriptive application for the
analysis of the perspectives that involve the compliance programs for the attainment
of better corporate practices aimed at the respect for human rights. As research
findings, it was possible to verify the positive organizational impacts generated by the
implementation of the program's tools in the company's culture; in addition, more and
greater awareness of ethical attitudes among the workers; improvement in the
transparency of actions, the reduction of costs and negative contingencies and the
reputational benefit. At the end of the investigation, the initial hypothesis is confirmed
in the sense that if the company implements the guidelines contained in Decree
9.571/2018 linked to the tools present in compliance programs, they will guarantee
corporate conduct focused on the protection of human rights and consequent
prevention of the practice of moral harassment, inserting themselves in the Global
scenario of Agenda 2030, with the consequent strengthening of the company's
image. As a research substrate, a practical proposal of a compliance program for
implementation in medium-sized companies is presented at the end. | en |
