The author conducts an in-depth review on the topic of workplace sexual
harassment, including: (1) What sexual harassment is, (2) Related legal
rulings, (3) Employer liability, (4) Ethical viewpoints, (5) Causes, (6)
Consequences, and (7) Recommendations for employers to prevent sexual
harassment. This Career Savvy report demonstrates how workplace sexual
harassment affects victims, workgroups, businesses, and society. The
author uncovers the costs of failing to prevent or eliminate workplace
sexual harassment and reaches the conclusion that companies are in the
best position to greatly reduce, if not eliminate, workplace sexual
harassment. Although this requires companies to make an investment in
time, personnel resources, and budget, the benefits of doing so can far
outweigh the cost for a company to litigate a claim. The author
demonstrates how actively managing risk due to sexual harassment in the
workplace is not just the right thing to do ethically and legally, it is
the smart thing to do from a business perspective based on potential costs
versus benefits.
