Almost
two-thirds of employees, or 64 percent, say sexual harassment in the workplace
is a serious problem, up from 47 percent in 2015, according to a recent
Washington Post-ABC News poll. 30 percent of women surveyed have experienced
unwanted sexual advances from male co-workers, and 23 percent said they were
harassed by men who had influence over their jobs. Of those who reported being
subjected to harassment at work, one-third said they were sexually abused. Only
42 percent of the women reported the inappropriate behavior to a supervisor,
and 95 percent said the men went unpunished.
Sexual
harassment is a continuing problem in the workplace that continues to gain
greater visibility in our society. In this online CPE course, an overview of
sexual harassment will be given followed by statistics on the prevalence of the
problem. In dealing with sexual harassment, employers must have a plan to
investigate allegations of sexual harassment. Decisions must be made on who can
serve as a neutral investigator and the techniques they must utilize to gather
evidence in order to reach an informed decision on the allegations made by a
complainant. In making a decision on the truthfulness of the sexual harassment
claims, the investigator must be able to write a report that describes the
techniques used to investigate the allegations and the evidence used to justify
the recommendations and actions taken while measuring the credibility of those
interviewed.
The
online CPE course will also look at when it is appropriate to use private
methods like mediation to resolve sexual harassment claims outside of court.
During the continuing professional education webinar, the Four-Phase Process
Model and Settlement Process Models of mediation will be examined to determine
how and when these models of mediation can be used to resolve these claims. A
look will also be taken when mediation is not the answer and litigation in the
courts is needed to resolve these issues.
