What is the real cost to companies when employees don't feel free to speak their minds? Credit Suisse knows. The Swiss financial services giant recently admitted to missing red flags that could have alerted it to the fraud committed by its former investment partner. The cost of those red flags? $10 billion in investor funds, $43 million in salary to terminated employees, and the restructuring of its entire asset management team. This is a learning opportunity.
