The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Task Force on the Study of Harassment in the Workplace made several recommendations that we should be sure to consider:

• Mid-level and Line Managers should be responsible for preventing harassment and it should be included in their performance review
• Social media considerations should be included in your harassment policies
• You MUST offer multiple methods and contacts where complaints can be filed – no more “requiring” them to be in writing
• Training…training…training
  • Include training middle and line managers in appropriate responses
• Consider including training in civility

The Task Force was actually reconvened in June, 2018 in response to the #metoo movement and it’s impact on Workplace Harassment. Not sure if your policy is up-to-date? Shoot us an email and we’ll help you figure it all out and avoid unnecessary drama! All the best ~ Karen
