One in four women and one in 10 men have experienced some form of sexual harassment in the workplace. Less obvious costs are increased absenteeism, reduced productivity, staff turnover and related training costs. As well, there are the potential costs of a negative public image. There are also significant costs for victims of harassment, including stress, anxiety, humiliation and career disruption. Develop an effective sexual harassment prevention policy.
