When Gretchen Carlson spoke out about her experience of workplace sexual harassment, it inspired women everywhere to take their power back and tell the world what happened to them. In a remarkable, fierce talk, she tells her story — and identifies three specific things we can all do to create safer places to work. “We will no longer be underestimated, intimidated or set back,” Carlson says. “We will stand up and speak up and have our voices heard. We will be the women we were meant to be.”
So I have not yet watched this video but I did start the Compliance Training and found this to be interesting especially after I discussion yesterday
Question 2 Which of the following would not be an example of sexual harassment?
A. Telling sexual or lewd jokes, hanging sexual posters, making sexual gestures, etc.
B. Sending, forwarding, or soliciting sexually suggestive letters, notes, emails, or images
C. Going to lunch with a female co-worker.
D. Touching in a way that may make an employee feel uncomfortable, such as patting, pinching or intentional brushing against another’s body.
I’m working on Compliance Training, too! Good times. LOL! I noticed that question and thought of our conversation, as well. Even if it’s done unintentionally, I think that a male supervisor going to lunch with only male colleagues can easily be seen as an act of favoritism or sexism. I know the news has been going on and on about the hot topic of the “fear of allegations” among men, but it’s important to be inclusive and remember that what may seem like a simple lunch can be viewed as bias.
Agreed. Or that the federal law is not updated with the ways things are done/considered now. Here is another question to consider:
Question 4 What does not constitute a claim of harassment under Federal Law (Title VII)?
A. The unwelcome conduct affected a term or condition of employment and/or had the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with his or her work performance and/or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment.
B. Simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents that are not serious.
C. The complaining party must be a member of a statutorily protected class.
D. S/he was subjected to unwelcome verbal or physical conduct related to his or her membership in that protected class.
Anyone else upset about this question:
