Nepotism in the workplace is a form of favoritism in which persons in positions of authority appoint
relatives or friends to different jobs. Although it is not wholly illegal in the private sector, the act itself
is unethical in the workplace.
It is one of the most destructive forms of an act that can ruin a workplace culture and create
unwanted chaos. It not only promotes partiality but also lowers the morale of talented people who
are often neglected because leaders tend to favor their known ones. This hinders an organization's
capacity to form genuine relationships, motivate high performers, reduce organizational collaboration,
and increase employee turnover.
With nepotism, a workplace becomes toxic, which is detrimental to organizational success. It results
in poor employee productivity, and the engagement levels drop significantly. Furthermore, nepotism
is likely to impede the employees’ ability to bring out the best in them because the work environment
does not suit them. As a result, they tend to leave the organization in the long run.
