Creating a Respectful Workplace
When does joking go too far? What are acceptable boundaries for interaction between genders? What about the gray areas of perception and intent? Issues like these challenge people at work every day. Employers today need to ensure that all staff know the organization's stance on discriminatory behavior and are trained in what is acceptable behavior in their workplace. When in place, an organization can protect itself from many of the worst accusations of discrimination and hostile environment.
