We've had a recent scandal at the CBC here in Canada that can serve as a cautionary tale about protecting vital on-air assets. To make a long story short Canada's biggest radio star was recently fired after assault allegations finally became public. Most of the alleged bad behaviour was outside of the office, but assault and harassment also (allegedly) happened in the office and CBC execs (allegedly) covered up the behaviour because the host in question was CBC radio's biggest asset. CBC was not initially to blame, but from the sound of things he should have been fired a loooooong time ago. All employers have a duty to protect their employees, and particularly at publicly funded institutions that must be transparent, that must be publicly accountable for all that they do. Just google Jian Ghomeshi if you want the whole sordid story.
