Dealing with Sexual Harassment When Your Company Is Too Small to Have HR

This Harvard Business Review article discusses what small companies can do to prevent and address sexual harassment.

Some of the recommendations discussed are:

• Leaders should be conscious of the factors promoting a toxic work culture (e.g. predominately male executive staff, layers of hierarchy in power, indifference).
• Leaders should establish clear policies outlining what constitutes sexual harassments, which behaviours will not be tolerated, and what employees should do if they see or experience misconduct.
• Leaders should enforce these rules by designating clear roles for people within the organization.
