Were you a victim of sexual harassment in the workplace?

Sexual harassment in the workplace affects both the victim and the overall company. Not only does the victim have to endure deep trauma from the harassment, but the company also has to deal with the marred image and its aftermath. Therefore, companies are expected to uphold strong morale by providing proper supervision and safety measures to prevent such harassment.

Unfortunately, there are a number of sexual harassment cases that occur every year in the workplace. What’s even more unfortunate is that many victims are afraid to speak up. If the harassment was done by a superior, the victim may fear his/her job. Or, if the victim chooses to walk away from the company, he/she will still have to endure the compounded stress of trying to find a job while coping with the incident.
