Description

Employers are responsible for maintaining a workplace free from harassment. Failing to do so can lead to legal consequences, reputational damage, and low employee morale.

Sexual harassment includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature.
