Pretty much as shown. In each Paragraph Style you want the fix applied, click on GREP Style, then New GREP Style, and enter the Character Style name that fixes the shift, and the text code for em-dash, as shown.

All em-dashes in that Para style will have the specified Char style applied automatically.
