Course Overview

Sexual harassment is illegal and can severely harm workplace morale and performance. In industries like healthcare, nearly 80% of nurses and 30% of doctors report experiencing harassment. This not only affects the individual but can also undermine patient care and lead to serious legal consequences for managers. Managers who fail to act, or participate in harassment, risk losing their job, damaging their reputation, and facing legal penalties.

Sexual harassment typically falls into two categories: quid pro quo and hostile environment. Quid pro quo involves offering or withholding job benefits in exchange for sexual favors, and even one instance can lead to a lawsuit. Hostile environment harassment happens when unwelcome behavior creates an uncomfortable or intimidating work setting. While a single incident may not be enough for legal action, repeated conduct that interferes with work performance can be.

Managers play a key role in preventing harassment by setting the right example, addressing complaints, and maintaining professional behavior. By ensuring clear boundaries and acting promptly on reported incidents, you can protect both employees and the organization from legal and reputational risks.
