Sexual harassment policy implementation issues: learning from a public higher education case study

Article Abstract:

Sexual harassment is a serious workplace problem that has cost the federal government over $267 million in losses during a two-year period. This figure includes lost productivity, absenteeism and replacement costs incurred by sexually harassed public employees. An analysis of three issues, awareness, reporting and satisfaction, in sexual harassement policy implementation is undertaken in a public university. The results indicate that low rates of reporting and inadequate protection for victims are more of a problem than lack of awareness about sexual harassment policy and the grievance process.
