Various ways to avoid Harassment:
1) Employees should mind the language they are
working on with their colleagues. This may have a
significant impact unknowingly, which has to be
avoided
2) If some one is offended with his/her words, have to
ask them to stop immediately.
3) Observers has to respond immediately to the
situation and stop the harassment activity and lodge a
complaint in respective organization.
4) The Harassment authorities should take immediate
and strict action to set an example in the organization.
When we think of sexual harassment we often think of Quid Pro Quo harassment.
Refer to slide and the example.
This behavior is obviously wrong but it does occur. In the past this behavior may have led to the victim quitting his/her job, but today because of hearings (Clarence Thomas vs Anita Hill 1991) and an increase in federal law many employees now file a sexual harassment claim instead.
The personal financial consequences could be so large that you could lose your home and other personal assets.
The foundation of equality, accepting our differences, and appreciating our diversity will allow our respectful workplace to stand.
If we acknowledge equality, accept differences, and appreciate diversity, then we create a workplace where there is mutual respect for all employees. No one feels harassed or scared in such a workplace.
Does this sound possible? It’s not if each one of us is willing to do our part to promote respect in the workplace.
