Managers
supply tools and eliminate obstacles so employees can maximize their
productivity to contribute to the bottom line. Today managers carry
the responsibility to make sure that all employees perform in a safe
and welcoming environment. This responsibility includes providing an
environment free from sexual harassment. Managers can be held liable
both as company representatives and as individuals if they knowingly
allow illegal behavior to persist. Under a 1998 U.S. Supreme Court ruling,
managers are accountable even for illegal behaviors they were not aware
of.
While awareness
of the need for a prevention policy about sexual harassment is high,
many managers do not know how to begin. Preventing Sexual Harassment
is a program designed just for you. This program can teach you steps
to safeguard your business and employees from sexual harassment and
costly legal settlements.
