Handling A Sexual Harassment Investigation

Handling a Sexual Harassment Investigation Program provides managers and supervisors with the information they need to identify sexual harassment in their departments, gather facts about an incident of harassment and resolve the situation fairly. Sexual harassment can be devastating for both its victims as well as the companies that they work for. It’s also illegal. When it occurs, sexual harassment must be addressed quickly, fairly and with compassion, so a company can help the employees involved, minimize workplace disruption, avoid lawsuits or fines, and preserve the organization’s reputation. The program includes information on what sexual harassment is, company policy and preventing harassment, conducting an ethical investigation, beginning an investigation, gathering facts, resolving the situation and more.
