Abstract
This paper explains that, before the decision was made in the Oncale vs. Sundowner Offshore Services, Inc. case, there was no clear way to deal with same-sex harassment. The author points out that, in this case, a hostile environment was defined as a derivative of physical and verbal harassment suffered by the plaintiff and perpetrated by coworkers. The paper states that studies on same-gender sexual harassment suggest male-male sexual harassment has a more severe impact upon psychological and job-related outcomes than other forms of sexual harassment.

From the Paper
"The quid pro quo type of sexual harassment involves sexual advances that are unwelcome, physical or verbal conduct of a sexual nature, or requests for sexual favors. These actions are seen as quid pro quo harassment when (1) submission to these actions are made either explicitly or implicitly a condition of a person's employment, or (2) submission to or denial of these actions by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting the individual. Hostile environment sexual harassment involves "unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute "hostile environment" sexual harassment when such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment."

Abstract
The paper looks at the important issue of sexual harassment and examines what strategies have been pursued and continue to be pursued with regards to addressing this issue. The paper focuses on Canadian organizations charged with protecting the interests of women in the workforce and details why sexual harassment is such an important topic. The paper discusses in brief four Canadian organizations ostensibly committed to fighting sexual harassment in the workplace and the strategies they pursue towards this end, some important insights provided by the course readings, and what - if anything - is being done to make the situation in Canada better. Finally, the paper concludes with an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the strategies apparently put forward by the above-mentioned organizations and notes what can be done differently to achieve the final aims of those preoccupied with bringing sexual harassment to an end. Ultimately, the paper illustrates just how much more work needs to be done.

From the Paper
"With the rise of the modern feminist movement in the late 1960s and 1970s, what had previously been considered tolerable, if not acceptable, behavior in the workplace began to be called into question - especially as it pertained to the matter of sexual harassment. With this in mind, the following paper will look at the important issue of sexual harassment and examine what strategies have been pursued and continue to be pursued with regards to addressing this issue. As a further note, the focus will fall primarily upon Canadian organizations charged with protecting the interests of women in the workforce. The reason for this is that a paper..."

Abstract
This review defines sexual harassment and discusses several ways in which employers could reduce or prevent the problem from occurring in their organizations. These include: the development of specific, concrete, and directive company policy; the use of contracts in which employees specify that any developed relationships are consensual; transfers of one member of a relationship to another department; forbidding dating by coworkers; having managers immediately report any incidents of sexual harassment to Human Resources people; developing, at the company, a specific team or department that handles sexual harassment allegations; getting managerial and supervisory employees to fully commit to writing, communicating, fully investigating and fully enforcing company sexual harassment regulations.

From the Paper
"According to Lippman, sexual harassment is properly characterized as more about power than sex. In her discussion of nurses who experience sexual harassment at the workplace, Lippman points out that the key definitional element of sexual harassment is the idea of quid pro quo in which sexual favors are requested from an employee in return for job benefits. Those offering the quid pro..."

From the Paper
"Professor Kari Fasting has conducted a research on sexual harassment of athletes and is of the opinion that in the last decade, many women and girls have experienced harassment and one illustration in Norway found the incidence to be as high as 29%. Sexual exploitation is the biggest problem in sports currently and while the public raise a hue and cry over the drug test results and match fixing there is absolute silence on this issue. There are two groups of harassment features, one involving sexist attitudes and cultural and racial inequalities and the other simple sexual advancements. The first group discriminates against a sex, especially women who are not considered yet as sports people. The other type will include coaches who are prone to flirt, seduce the wards, or use their authority to bend the will of the sports person and harass them over their status."

Abstract
This paper discusses sexual harassment. The paper provides a working definition of sexual harassment, as well as discusses the literature around the subject. The paper focuses on women in male gender specific positions versus women in female gender specific positions, and whether or not one type of job is more likely to produce issues with sexual harassment.

From the Paper
"Sexual Harassment in the Workplace Sexual harassment is any unwanted sexual behavior, and it affects millions of women throughout every industry. Dr. Kimberly Schneider (1998) suggests that sexual harassment is so common in the workplace that many women believe that it is just part of the job that they have to contend with. Dr. Schneider (1998) further stipulates that although this fact may lead many to think that mild forms of sexual harassment do not deserve to be considered as crimes, when women are subjected to sexual harassment they will eventually begin to develop employment problems due to the impact that the behavior has on their self-esteem (Schneider, 1998). While sexual harassment was once only experienced by women in gender specific positions throughout the world, the inclusion of women in male gender targeted jobs adds a new complexity to the issue."

Abstract
Although admittedly not a problem unique to the securities industry, there are, in fact, a host of reasons for why sexual harassment is more evident in the securities industry than in others. This report explores the reasons that this problem has persistently surfaced in this industry, in particular by examining the legal and ethical environment that surrounds it, and suggests recommendations for dealing with the problem. The writer suggests that paramount in explaining the reasons for male harassment of women in this environment are the following: the use of industry controlled mandatory arbitration for resolving harassment complaints, the overwhelming concentration of men in the industry, and the high stakes/high risk macho nature of making money.

From the Paper
"Despite strong efforts by brokerage firms and others in the financial services industry to sensitize employees to the issue of sexual harassment, recent headlines suggest that, as a whole, the securities industry efforts have not yet been successful.[1] During the last decade, the media has reported numerous high-profile cases concerning a number of prominent brokerage firms including Kidder Peabody, Goldman Sachs and Smith Barney.[2] Last January, New York attorney general Dermis Vacco held an investigatory hearing into the sexual harassment of women in the industry. During the testimony, women gave graphic details of a locker-room environment fraught with pornography, constant vulgar conversation, and instances of male co-workers exposing themselves, groping women employees, and threatening them with physical violence or discharge if they did not provide sexual favors. One woman testified that men continue to harass women on Wall Street because the industry allows it. "[T]hey know they can ... they are truly above the law."[3]"

Definition Of Sexual Harassment:
Quid Pro Quo
Hostile Working Environment

From the Paper
"With the rapidly changing corporate culture, organizations in the United States are required to focus their attention on eradication of discriminatory practices in the workplace especially those connected with gender. Sexual harassment is one such problem, which has become the worst form of gender discrimination on job in recent years. Complaints of sexual harassment are rising dramatically and while American corporations are showing active interest in resolving the issue, new cases are still being reported in every part of the country. Davis (1998) writes, "In 1986, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission began tracking sexual harassment cases and found 2,850 filed. By 1995, these claims had climbed to over 15,000 for the year." (Restaurant Hospitality, pp. 122)"
