Sexual Harassment

Paper Summary:

This paper looks at the issue of sexual harassment in the workplace, with examples from cases involving large corporations. It looks at how companies like Mitsubishi and Salomon Smith Barney have learned that fostering a work environment that is sensitive to the needs of both genders is much more preferable to facing a sexual harassment lawsuit. It looks at how sexual harassment continues to be a problem in the workplace and how organizations can implement policies, such as informal grievance committees and sexual harassment workshops, to educate employees on appropriate behavior in the workplace.

From the Paper:

"Many companies would benefit from the creation of informal grievance committee, where victims could report instances of harassing behavior. Though based on the guidelines written by the EEOC, these policies should be tailored to meet the explicit needs of individual companies.
Experts have also suggested that the creation of informal grievance committees are often more effective than formal ones, especially in companies where women are greatly underrepresented in managerial and executive positions. These grievance committees provide a venue where sexual harassment complaints can be evaluated and addressed (Riger 501)."
