Hostile Work Environment Is It Sexual Harassment? (Training Trigger)

Hostile Work Environment/Harassment

A manager and a supervisor mull over a string of anonymous Alertline complaints, trying to decide how seriously the complaints should be taken, what action – if any – is appropriate, and if the person filing the complaint is mentally balanced. “Makes me wonder what we’re dealing with.”

Professional trainers affectively use this short video to trigger discussion concerning what constitutes hostile environment, harassment and whether or not it matters where harassment of an employee actually occurs.

This vignette examines the quandary managers face when what may be serious complaints cannot be substantiated without the involvement of an employee who chooses to remain anonymous. Mishandled, the situation could jeopardize a manager’s career.
