It started with Anita Hill’s televised testimony at the Clarence Thomas Senate Confirmation hearing to become a Supreme Court Justice in 1991. Then Paula Jones’ lawsuit against President Bill Clinton and several multi-million dollar verdicts have caused a wave of litigation. In 1998, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down two important decisions that put the ball in the employer’s court in sexual harassment lawsuits. Basically, they gave employers what we call an “affirmative defense,” provided that they have a policy in place that makes it clear the company does not tolerate sexual harassment.

Someone said, “If your only tool is a hammer, you approach every problem as if it were a nail.” Put down your old, familiar tools for now, or else find a different way to use them. Doing the right things, even very imperfectly, can bring you a quantum leap.

I provide training to bring employers into compliance with the new law, and to protect them from costly lawsuits. First, I check their existing policy to make sure that it is adequate, or I draft a policy for them if they don’t have one. Then I go out and meet with the managers on site. I define sexual harassment for them, and go through some hypothetical scenarios with them, so they understand what is and is not acceptable behavior in the workplace. Then I go over their policy with them, have them sign off that they have read it, understand it, and will be bound by it. I tell them that if they violate the policy, it may cost them their jobs. I provide additional tips on preventing sexual harassment at my website: www.sexualharassmentprevention.net/sexual.jsp.
