AS
A LEGAL ISSUE, sexual harassment brings
potential individual and employer liability. Defending claims can
be costly...in time, money, focus and negative public image.
AS A BUSINESS ISSUE, sexual
harassment erodes job performance, relationships, teamwork, communication,
profits, morale and breeds absenteeism and turnover.
AS A MANAGEMENT ISSUE, management
is responsible for prevention and can be held liable for violations
of applicable laws.
AS A MORAL ISSUE, sexual
harassment undermines an individual's self-esteem and confidence and
can tarnish careers and reputations. |

Waiting
Until A Harassment Incident Or Lawsuit Occurs Before Taking Preventive
Measures...May Be Too Little, Too Late...And Too Costly.
