Reducing Sexual Harassment at Workplace.

This paper describes an emerging change in the environment of organizations. Sexual harassment, typically by men of women, exists in every country, with rates exceeding 75% of women experiencing sexual harassment in some countries. Recent events in the US have moved issues of sexual harassment to the front burner, with workplace examples now being reported in the media on an almost daily basis. The emerging #MeToo movement has fostered these changes. Women are now reporting sexual harassment experiences. Harassers are increasingly being terminated. Workplaces that ignore harassment experiences are seeing their reputations decline. More workplaces are now addressing issues of sexual harassment. However, it is too early to determine whether these initiatives will continue and have the desired effects. The paper offers suggestions for preventing workplace sexual harassment.
