Sexual Harassment at Workplace - the New Paradigm
OVERVIEW
In the U.S., all
employers are obligated to maintain a harassment-free workplace for their
employees at all times. “Sexual Harassment” covers unwelcomed sexual
advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a
sexual nature. Although the law requires employers to maintain a
harassment-free workplace, there are currently no federal laws which require
employers to provide employees with Sexual Harassment PreventionTraining. Various state laws, such as those in California, do require
periodic training for prevention of sexual harassment.
The prolific number of
#MeToocomplaints still dominating the news and taking down powerful leaders
from many industries has exposed workplace sexual harassment that has often
been ignored, condoned, and hidden. The fact that so many of these stories
originate in workplace settings suggests that both employers and employees have
much to learn about how to create better workplace cultures that oppose and
prevent this behavior.
Today, employers need
much more than simple policies and training to create safe, inclusive and
productive environments for all employees.
