Sexual Harassment: The Employer's Guide to Causes, Consequences and Remedies
Despite the highly publicised legal battles of recent years, there is still little public agreement on what kinds of behaviour constitute sexual harassment. Some managers refuse to accept that it could occur in their own organisations, or even that sexual harassment exists at all.
But sexual harassment is an endemic problem in workplaces, with serious personal, legal and organisational consequences. How should managers deal with such a complex, sensitive and emotional issue?
In
Sexual Harassment: The Employer's Guide to Causes, Consequences and Remedies, Estella Engelberg-Moston and Stephen Moston offer straightforward answers to difficult questions:
- How do I recognise the difference between the myths and realities of sexual harassment?
- How can I find out if sexual harassment is a problem in my organisation?
- How do I know if an employee's behaviour constitutes sexual harassment?
- Why don't workers report harassment?
- What kind of legal obligations do organisations have to protect their employees from sexual harassment?
- What can my organisation do about sexual harassment?
