How to Handle Sexual Harassment Complaints

As you likely know, a court can hold you—the employer—liable for sexual harassment even if you were not the one doing the harassment. This is because it is your responsibility to create a safe working environment for your employees. Sexual harassment in any form, from catcalls to sexist jokes to requests for sexual favors, can create a hostile work environment and cause an employee to quit.

So what can you do to protect your company against sexual harassment claims? For starters, you can:

  • Take prompt action when anyone raises concerns about sexual harassment
  • Provide corrective or even preventive opportunities for employees to take to avoid this type of behavior, such as management training
  • Create HR policies and procedures that clearly outline your stance on sexual harassment, and what you will do should someone in your company violate your policy

It is important that you always document your policies and procedures. Also, make sure to document every complaint that comes your way and the steps you took to remedy that complaint. The reasonable steps you take now will help provide you with the strong defense you may need in the event of a sexual harassment lawsuit.
