Sexual Harassment

The Professional Employer has a important article on sexual harassment.  Here’s an excerpt:

“You have to take a hard line against sexual harassment before it occurs. Verbally informing your employees about your company’s position on sexual harassment is a good start. But ultimately a written sexual harassment policy is the most effective thing you can do to protect your employees and your business.

Many small businesses neglect to adopt written sexual harassment policies because they think they are not “large enough” to require such a document. But NO business is immune from sexual harassment or from the litigation that follows. That reason alone should convince you to create a written policy sooner, rather than later.”
