This program examines legal definitions of what constitutes sexual harassment based on recent court decisions, and enumerates what supervisors need know about it to maintain a harassment-free environment and escape liability suits.
Harassment exists when unwelcome verbal or physical contact affects employment in any of three ways.
Employers are held to be responsible. Cases are reviewed which have established these definitions, the responsibilities of those involved in incidents are listed, a six-step prevention process is recommended, and clues for identifying harassment are given.
