Best Practices in Sexual Harassment Policy and Assessment

Abstract

A recent study reviewed how private-sector corporations deal with human relations, specifically with sexual harassment. The study conducted a telephone interview in late 1999 with a sample of Fortune 500 Corporations asking them about their sexual harassment policies, the strategies they used to communicate these policies, the training they used for their employees, and how they evaluated whether their policies were effective. Based on the study findings, organizations with the best programs for prevention of sexual harassment had effective human relations strategies in which policies and training on sexual harassment were embedded into the broader training programs aimed at work productivity, building effective teams, and establishing a positive working environment.
