Sexual harassment, other forms of workplace harassment, and abusive conduct continue to remain real workplace problems. Media stories and studies clarify the high toll that this misconduct takes on targeted employees, coworkers and the overall work environment. A workplace that allows--and even encourages--such conduct cannot promote respect for all employees to obtain their best performance. California has enacted laws that require employers with 5 or more employees to train their entire workforce on harassment prevention and response. Because managers act on behalf of their employer, they have a special duty to promote a workplace free of sexual harassment, seek to prevent such improper conduct and effectively respond to instances and complaints.
