PROTECTING YOUR ORGANIZATION FROM SEXUAL HARASSMENT CHARGES & THEIR CONSEQUENCES”
The past year’s news has been filled with sexual harassment headlines, with 200+ Hollywood celebrities, high profile CEOs & politicians being accused. This has resulted in:
- The careers of successful celebrities coming to a screeching end & even imprisonment of “America’s Dad”
- CEOs being fired & their corporations paying out millions in settlements
- Politicians resigning in disgrace
The sexual harassment cases that don’t make the headlines are those involving a supervisor or manager harassing a subordinate or a non-supervisory employer harassing a co-worker. Yet it is these non-headline cases that make up the vast majority of the more than 12,000 allegations of sexual harassment in the past year—a number that is increasing dramatically.
These instances can have serious (& even potentially fatal) consequences for your organization. These include:
✔ Distraction from Your Mission
✔ Energy & Emotion Drain
✔ Legal Costs
✔ Damage to Your Company’s Reputation & Image
- Adversely affecting current/potential customers & employment recruiting
✔ Poorer Performance
✔ Lower Morale
✔ Higher Absenteeism
✔ Higher Turnover
Sexual activity can put an extra strain on your heart, especially if your heart is actively pumping blood, your http://regencygrandenursing.com/long-term-care/nutritional-management commander levitra blood pressure is at its highest, referred to as systolic pressure.
Many experts agree on four actions by employers should take to reduce the potential for sexual harassment and other forms of harassment to occur in the workplace. These include:
- Establishing the strong anti-harassment policy
- Effectively communicating the organization’s policy & the consequences of a violation
- employees through comprehensive training
- Especially those in positions of authority as employers are generally presumed to know of unlawful behavior by such individuals.
- Enforcing the policy in a consistent manner—regardless of the violator’s “star power”
Another advantage of taking these steps is that they may help lessen the severity of the legal &/or other consequences resulting from an Equal Employment Opportunity charge or from a lawsuit.
