I urge each of you to assist me in discovering the full potential of our multicultural workforce. ERDC Policy on Sexual Harassment 1. Sexual harassment is a violation of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, as amended. It is also a violation of the Merit Systems Principles of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978. Sexual harassment is deliberate or repeated unwelcome, unsolicited verbal comments, gestures, or physical contacts of a sexual nature.
Sexual harassment is unacceptable conduct.
I support a work environment where sexual harassment is not tolerated. Employees have the right to work in an environment free from unsolicited and unacceptable sexual overtures. Practices which undermine the integrity of employees, debilitate morale, or interfere with work productivity will not be condoned. Each manager, supervisor, and employee will be held responsible for ensuring that sexual harassment is not practiced or tolerated. Individuals who feel that they are the victims of sexual harassment should contact the EEO Office or an EEO Counselor for a private, confidential discussion of the matter.
