“There’s really only one way to end harassment in the workplace, and that’s to make sure that people are encouraged and empowered to come forward and report it when it happens.” – Emma Denny
She the describes four main mechanisms to make people feel empowered to come forward.
- Ease of reporting the harassment
- Fair investigation procedures
- Prompt and adequate response is taken by the employer
- Strong anti-retaliation polices
