As an employer, I have a moral obligation to do my best to ensure that my employees can get to and from work safely and without fear of harassment, assault, etc. As it relates to the topic at hand, this is the only reasonable consideration for management. Period.
If doing what I can to protect the physical and mental well-being of my employees requires that I make a judgement call to avoid certain areas of a city, I would make that judgement call every single time because it's simply the right thing to do.
- Crito 13y agoI do not disagree, but I also do not think that is relevant to this discussion. Employers should be doing or not doing lots of different things, but this discussion is not about them. If you are certain that location of employment is essential to this discussion, consider that not everybody who commutes through dangerous or vandalized neighborhoods works in those sort of neighborhoods. Some of them instead live in those neighborhoods. A company may choose to locate itself in a clean and affluent neighborhood, but that does not resolve the problems their employees may face.
