- Hi Amanda, did you get a chance to finish the report due?
- Hi, no I'm sorry. This is my last day here before my maternity leave. I am trying to get as much as before going home
- Slajd: 2
- This is a really important project that needs to get done. Next time don't leave as early with so much to do.
- My maternity leave starts tomorrow, with such a big problem, I don't know if I can finish it
- Slajd: 3
- I don't care, this is your job and it needs to be done or you're fired.
- You are not leaving until it is done. I don't care what the family in medicine say
- Slajd: 4
- Did you hear what she just said to me? I am really upset about it.
- Yeah that is really not okay. She can't say that to you.

- Hey Boss, I wanted to mention I saw Luena harassing Amanda at her desk over this big project they have.
- You know Amanda is pregnant and has her maternity leave coming up and Luena completely disregarded it
- Slajd: 6
- Telling Amanda that she has to come to work and finish it no matter what
- Oh wow okay, I will talk to somebody about this and get to the bottom of the situation. Thank you for telling me.

- Hi, I wanted to meet with you today because I have received an unsettling report of workplace harassment. I was hoping you could lead me through this.
- Slajd: 8
- Hi, workplace harassment can have serious repercussions and is something that can be prevented.
- The harassment claim can become a criminal offense and lead to a trial. This would occur if it was deemed that there was harm, injury or abuse

- Harassment is a form of employment discrimination that violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
- There are also state specific laws. Additionally, you can end up being fined with compensation claims for such post effects of harassment.
- Slajd: 10
- Harassment can lead to many ethical issues such as a decrease in workplace culture and employee moral.
- What impact can this have on my business?
- This is a very serious claim and it can tarnish your company's reputation which also affects customer and stakeholder relations.
- Slajd: 11
- Is there any way this could be a false claim? What would happen in that case?
- Slajd: 12
- In that case, your business could incur defamation and privacy issues. Either way, this could greatly damage your company reputation. Failing to address this can lead to a lack of diversity and inclusivity
- Also, ignoring these claims can affect employee mental health and lead to a distrust in the company. This further raises ethical concerns about the business and their practices.
- Slajd: 13
- This is a much bigger issue than I had imagined. You mentioned earlier this could be prevented, what do you suggest I do?
- There are a lot of things you can do.
- Slajd: 14
- First, your next steps should be providing support systems such as counseling. This shows your employees that you care about them and that you are taking this seriously
- Slajd: 15
- I would also suggest that you have prompt investigations that value confidentiality to show this is a serious matter.
- Slajd: 16
- My last suggestion for your current situation would be to keep records of complaints, investigations, and outcomes. This will help in the future if you end up needing support against other claims
- Slajd: 17
- Thank you, I will make sure to implement all of your suggestions. How do you suggest I prevent this from happening again?
- Slajd: 18
- The most important suggestion I can give is to hold employee harassment and training sessions. Also, holding management accountable to foster a workplace culture of respect and trust
- Slajd: 19
- It is also important for you to establish clear policies. You need to make sure that everyone is on the same page and abides by the policies.
- Implement a zero-tolerance policy. Be sure to review that your policies are compliant with relevant laws and regulations
- Slajd: 20
- Establishing reporting channels through HR for employees to report any misconduct without fear of retaliation will help establish a safe environment
- Slajd: 21
- It is also important for you to have regular assessments where you ask employees for their opinions on workplace culture.
- This will provide you with a lot of important feedback that can help run your business with employees as a priority
- Slajd: 22
- Thank you so much for your help. I feel as if I have the knowledge to handle this situation. I will stay in touch if a trial is needed.
- Slajd: 23
- The End!
- Slajd: 24
- Thanks for watching! Workplace harassment is an extremely serious topic and should be a priority of all businesses, that they have a strong foundation and clear policies that hold everyone accountable
