Chief Executive Officer Queensland Oil & Gas (QOG)
63 Adelaide Street Brisbane QLD 4000
Dear Ms. Peterson,
Subject: Addressing the Crisis Situation of Workplace Misbehavior
I hope this letter finds you well. The recent ABC Four Corners exposé has placed QOG in a critical spotlight due to severe workplace misbehaviors in our FIFO operations. Disturbing revelations indicate that sexual harassment is pervasive, with numerous female employees facing alarming incidents. Temporary female staff have been subjected to solicitations for sexual favors in exchange for job security. The unfamiliarity of many FIFO workers regarding appropriate behavior further aggravates our concerns. This is particularly distressing given our strategic move to hire more women to bridge our skills gap and place our organizational reputation at risk.
Given these events, our response strategy should be unequivocal and swift. It must show our commitment to fostering a safe and inclusive work environment regardless of any individual's gender, race, belief, or background, among others. Thus, in upcoming media engagements, it is imperative to:
1 Recognize the deep-rooted issues and assume clear responsibility.
2 Display sincere regret for any misconduct under QOG's watch.
3 Elucidate the firm steps QOG is taking to foster a safe and inclusive environment.
To solidify our stance, I strongly advocate embracing the MCA's guidelines concerning sexual harassment. I also propose onboarding Professor An Teo, a distinguished HR expert, for holistic staff sensitization. Details of Professor Teo's offerings are enclosed.
With your leadership, I trust we can steer QOG to a safer future. I remain available for further consultations.
Sincerely,
[Your Name] [Your Title/Position]
