Q
What are the best ways to prevent workplace harassment?
Thanks for asking. Prevention starts with clear policies, consistent training, and a culture that encourages respect. Leaders also play a big role by modeling good behavior and addressing issues right away.
Q
What does POSH stand for in workplace compliance?
POSH stands for Prevention of Sexual Harassment. It’s often used in compliance programs, especially outside the U.S., to describe workplace laws and practices that prohibit sexual harassment and support safe reporting.
Q
What role do bystanders play in preventing harassment?
Bystanders can make a huge difference. Speaking up, distracting, or checking in with someone who might be experiencing harassment helps stop harmful behavior and shows that the workplace doesn’t tolerate it.
Q
How do managers handle harassment complaints fairly?
Managers should listen without judgment, document the concern, and escalate it through the company’s reporting process. They should avoid taking sides and make sure the employee feels heard and supported.
Q
What are examples of subtle workplace harassment?
Subtle harassment can include repeated offhand jokes, unwanted comments about appearance, exclusion from opportunities, or constant interruptions. Even if it’s not obvious at first, these behaviors create a hostile environment over time.
