Citigroup Urges Employees to Report Inappropriate Behavior and Harassment

Citigroup's global head of markets, Andy Morton, sent a memo to employees urging them to report any instances of inappropriate behavior following a lawsuit filed by a managing director alleging sexual harassment by a former manager. The managing director accused Citigroup of tolerating a hostile environment and claimed she was subjected to harassment and abuse. Citigroup stated that it will defend against the claims, and Morton emphasized that employees can raise concerns without fear of retaliation through official channels such as managers, human resources, or the company's ethics hotline.
