Do your employees, staff and even management team understand that sexual harassment can take many forms?  It can be verbal, as with jokes, comments, or propositions.  It can be visual, as in written notes, cartoons, or objects.  It can be electronic, as in e-mails, social media posts, and texts.  And it can be physical, as with touching, gesturing, or leering and staring.

While managers and supervisors are held to a higher legal standard in sexual harassment cases, sexual harassment prevention is everyone’s responsibility.

What it all comes down to is this - preventing sexual harassment is about recognizing what's going on around us and then making good decisions.

Preventing sexual harassment means making sure that we're treating employees, coworkers, customers, vendors - anyone we deal with in the workplace - with absolute dignity and respect.
