Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is a form of discrimination, it can be extremely damaging to an both the individual(s) and a company.  Even though men are stereotyped to be more of the harassers, and women the victims; in documented cases it is actually about equal. Studies have shown that Harassment can make a workplace very hostile and costs companies hundreds of millions of dollars every year in punitive damages if situations are not resolved immediately. Employers are encouraged to provide comprehensive sexual harassment training to all employees, at every level of employment, to ensure a harassment-free workplace.  The training provides information on harassment prevention practices, no tolerance policies, and investigations for employees of all levels. "Prevention is the best tool to eliminate sexual harassment in the workplace. Employers are encouraged to take steps necessary to prevent sexual harassment from occurring. They should clearly communicate to employees that sexual harassment will not be tolerated." The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
