Voices of the Revolution: The Five Riders. Thanks to the epic poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Paul Revere is often credited as the sole rider who alerted the colonies that the British were coming. Yet, despite this tale, there were many riders who went out the night of April 18 and in the years following, warning the colonists of the approach and movement of the British forces. Four men and one woman made late night rides, alerting the early Americans of what dangers lay ahead.
WHAT IS A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT? Hostile work environment is created where the prohibited conduct is so severe or pervasive that a reasonable person in employeeâs circumstances would have considered the work environment to be hostile or abusive.
A hostile work environment leads to high employee turnover, low morale and a lack of motivation. Turning a blind eye to complaints about your companyâs work environment invites more hostility and problems. Resolving complaints requires you to take each complaint seriously, talk with employees who have voiced their concerns and make an effort to witness hostile behavior in the workplace.
