Distribute the Prohibited Harassment Policy to all employees periodically or when there are modifications to the policy. Take every complaint seriously. Encourage attendance at information sessions to raise employees' awareness of the issue of harassment, and periodically remind employees of the need to maintain a harassment free workplace. If requested, assist the individual in reporting the questionable behavior to the appropriate office. Keep the allegations confidential, except as necessary to report to appropriate University officials.
Confidentiality protects the interests of the alleged offender and the person making the report.
