'An industry problem' | Does Aritzia's 'culture of fear' prove the fashion industry needs better HR?

In an exposé from Insider, it was revealed by 53 former and current employees from the fashion company Aritzia that the brand has a toxic, “exploitative” and “high-pressure” culture, where workers felt like they were being “psychologically abused”.

Those employees stated that despite the fashion industry having a reputation of being cutthroat, working for the Canadian fashion company was particularly “gruelling”.
