Question

g When a sexual harassment complaint is filed speculation sometime occurs about who is the complainant. One result can be retaliation against the believed complainant. How do you mitigate this retaliation

Answer 1

Answer and explanation:

Sexual harassment is the act by which employees of an organization tend to use their hierarchical position in the firm to influence other employees in engaging personal relationships with them, without the need for the harassed employee to be interested in such a relationship.

The first step to mitigate this unethical behavior is to file a complaint in the Human Resources (HR) department of the company. If there are doubts about the complainant employee, that employee should look for protection from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) which is the governmental agency in charge of enforcing rules against any type of discrimination or unfair treatment in the work-frame.
