No company is above the law. Employers are taking complaints about sexual harassment more seriously in the post #metoo era. Concerns about publicity and reputational damage for companies where sexual harassment is tolerated is real. Harassment by colleagues in the course of employment is treated as also having been done by the employer. Often claims are brought against the employer and a named individual who has harassed another. In this situation, employers need to show that they took all reasonable steps to prevent the harassment.
