The Institute for Behavioral Risk Research (IPRC Brasil) recently launched the book “Doce Veneno”, a work that delves into the minds of confessed Brazilian fraudsters and harassers.The book, based on more than 5,500 investigative interviews with confessed offenders, offers a unique insight into the motivations behind cases of fraud, corruption and harassment in the corporate environment.
The publication, signed by behavioral risk experts, combines elements of fiction with real stories, creating what the authors call “Romance of Compliance”. Renato Santos, a doctor of management and spokesperson for the collection, explains: “Esse narrative style illustrates the principles of compliance with the internal norms and policies of an organization, offering entertainment while teaching and inspiring essential reflections”.
The book features six fictional characters inspired by real cases, exploring their dilemmas and the consequences of their choices.Among them, are Fabricio, driven by ambition down a dangerous path, and Larissa, who gives in to pressure in a moment of fragility.
The launch comes at a critical time, with the Brazilian labor market registering an increase of 74% in reports of bullying between 2022 and 2023, and a growth in cases of misappropriation from 19% to 22% during the pandemic.
“Doce Veneno” is the second publication of the “Seeds of Risk” trilogy and aims to promote a reflection on the factors that can turn the workplace into a breeding ground for moral slips.The book is available by R$ 59.90 in major bookstores and online platforms.
This publication comes at an opportune time, offering valuable insights to companies and professionals interested in understanding and preventing unethical behavior in the corporate environment.
