Outline the Steps that Employers Can Take against Sexual Harassment

Answers

1. Implement a clear policy on sexual-related harassment.
Draft rules and policies regarding harassment in the office. The policy, which should be in the employees' handbook, must contain the following:
- Definition of sexual harassment
- State that you will not tolerate harassment with this nature
- State that wrongdoers will be punished
- State the procedure for filing a complaint
- All complaints will be fully investigated
- State that retaliation against complainants will not be tolerated or allowed

2. Conduct prevention training among employees and workers.
Prevention training must be conducted once a year to teach
employees and workers about sexual harassment, to explain the rights to them, and to encourage
Them to report or file a complaint.
3. Give separate training for supervisors and managers.

Supervisors and office managers must also take training sessions to
know the nature of the problem, the rights of an individual, and to
know how to deal with complaints.

4. Mingle with your employees.
Try to talk and socialize with them. Ask for their input and
suggestions. Ask supervisors and managers what is going on.
Maintain communication with employees.
5. Take all complaints seriously.
If you receive a complaint, investigate immediately. Once the complaint turns out valid, an employer must act swiftly and effectively according to policy rules.
6. Establish a clear complaint procedure that establishes a process for handling complaints, investigating and documenting charges and correcting misconduct. Create an open atmosphere in which complaints can be raised without fear of retaliation.
7. Develop a written anti-harassment policy and make sure that all employees have a copy of it. In writing a sexual harassment policy, organizations can ask for the services of a business lawyer who has the experience and knowledge in employer-employee relationship. A lawyer who specializes in sexual harassment cases in the workplace can be expected to handle the job well.
