2. Issue: Sexual Harassment
Earlier this month, I had an employee report a case of Sexual
Harassment….about an employee I counted a friend.
3. The situation:
An employee came to me and
described an uncomfortable
conversation that occurred between
her and another one of my
employees.
It was quite clearly a case of sexual
harassment.
4. My company does not tolerate anything like this
Despite the employee who was reported being someone I considered a friend, I called the
Ethics Department to report the issue and sent emails about the situation to all the
managers who needed to be made aware.
5. Waiting
Knowing about the investigation
and not being able to talk to either
party was difficult.
Once the investigation was done
and people had been contacted, my
employee was upset I didn’t tell him.
Unfortunately I didn’t have a choice.
6. Sexual Harassment Videos!
Training These YouTube Videos are
from some major
Examples companies and help to
display what most
companies warn
employees about in regard
to sexual harassment and
how it will be handled by
the company if an
employee is found to be in
violation.
7. Ted Talks
Tony Porter: A call to men
The fight against sex slavery
Ted Talk helps us understand the
wider world of discrimination. If we
can understand these, it will be
easier to avoid sexual harassment in
the workplace.
