Do Not Underestimate the Impact of Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

Many employees who have been subjected to an instance or a pattern of sexual harassment may feel that it is easier to ignore the wrongdoing or minimize its true professional and psychological impact. In our experience, this can be a serious mistake. Immediate action may be required to protect the employee's rights and prevent any escalation in the behavior.

Fighting Sexual Harassment and the Culture That Allows It
