To combat these feelings of mistrust many companies have implemented racial diversity and multicultural training.
At times employees are quick to inaccurately judge co-workers behaviors. For instance, an employee arrives late at work and is caught sleeping at his desk by a co-worker. The co-worker does not know whether the other employee's behaviors are internally or externally caused. The co-worker attributes the employee's behaviors to too much partying. This perception is conveyed to management. The organization's behavior will be based on the situation's distinctiveness and consensus. In addition, the organization will take into account of the consistency of the employee's behaviors.
