Abstract
Sexual harassment is more than a social issue; it impacts on worker
productivity, employee communication and organizational morale. These
are direct costs to industry, combined with indirect costs such as
worker discontent, absenteeism and stress. Discusses the challenge for
management to respond to educating employees before charges are filed;
this includes policies, training programmes and punitive measures.
Cites the controversial nomination of US Supreme Court Justice, Clarence
Thomas, which galvanized women′s groups, who believe that he had engaged
in prior harassment of an assistant, as a case study worthy of
examination. In addition, a survey of several hundreds of men and women
underscores differences in how gender affects attitudes towards
appropriate behaviour in the work setting.
