Set the Tone: Sexual Harassment Prevention

Woman being harassed at work

Sexual harassment is not a problem of the past. Lately, it seems that not a week goes by without another news report on allegations of rampant harassment at high-profile companies, and in Hollywood, the media and government.

Most employers are well aware that sexual harassment is unlawful under both California and federal law, but that doesn't seem to stop the problem from occurring.

A work culture that tolerates harassment not only incurs legal risks (not to mention the high legal fees and costs) but also creates other problems, including:

An unpleasant work environment;
Decreased productivity;
Morale issues;
Attendance problems; and
Negative publicity and damage to your organization's reputation and credibility, which can extend to your ability to recruit and retain top talent.
