Every employer knows that sexual harassment can be a problem in the workplace.
The frightening thing is that an employer can be held responsible for the behavior of its employees. If an employee decides to sue for sexual harassment, the employer can be in big trouble. The good news is that employers can take steps to minimize their liability from sexual harassment lawsuits. One of the best things an employer can do is train its employees to recognize and avoid harassing behavior. Not only will this help prevent sexual harassment, making for a more stable work environment, it can also absolve an employer of some liability if an employee does get harassed.
