Core Problem

Sexual discrimination and

harassment

Prided itself in being an equal opportunity

employer

Company’s image and credibility

Anti-Discrimination Act:• Unwelcome and uninvited sexual conduct is unlawful in the

workplace.• Employers need to deal with sexual harassment as a

management issue.

Recommendations

Recommended Steps

Issue a Policy Statement- Sexual harassment will not be tolerated-The company will treat complaints seriously & sympathetically

Raise Awareness-Make sure that your staff are aware of their responsibilities under the law-Raise the matter at staff seminars or meetings

Make policy Statement Visible-Ensure the policy statement is seen by all employees-Display copies on appropriate noticeboards

Appoint a Complaints Officer-Nominate one of your employees to receive sexual harassment complaints.-Some one who has the authority

Receiving a Complaint-Objectivity is essential. Do not prejudge the matter-Check all details with the complainant ,explain courses of action

Investigation-Interview the alleged harasser-Try to find witnesses to the incident(s) if appropriate.

Outcome-After investigation take proper actions and solve the matter swiftly.

Diane Flanagan need to fire James Bradford as he is the root cause of all the problems leading to sexual

harassments.
