Sexual Harassment: A Guide to a Harassment-Free Workplace can have an immediate and significantly positive impact on the ways in which your organization manages the issue of sexual harassment. Every chapter of this powerful resource can affect the way you handle—and preempt!—the possibility of sexual harassment in your organization. Here are just a few of the key topics covered in this leading resource that are often overlooked or even unknown to those setting an organization’s policies: - The hidden costs of harassment
- How top executives set the tone
- The serious extent of the risk
- Personal liability
- Why hasn’t sexual harassment training worked?
- Who to train and when to train
- How to properly investigate harassment
- How to handle the reluctant employee
- Who should investigate?
- Determining credibility
- Understanding and avoiding defamation
- Protecting the accuser and the accused during the investigation
- And much more!
Sexual harassment may expose employers to automatic liability under certain circumstances, and regardless of legal liability, the negative publicity, high cost of turnover, lowered employee morale, and the potential expenses associated with lawsuits are just some of the devastating effects sexual harassment can have on the workplace. Every organization’s best defense is a proper offense, and Sexual Harassment: A Guide to a Harassment-Free Workplace is the absolutely necessary starting point.
