Developing Sexual Harassment Policy II

We stated that for a long-time, sexual harassment policies focused on managing and minimising risk. Often, the risk being managed is that of vicarious liability of the employer. We however have a different approach to drafting sexual harassment policies.  Our anchoring ideal on the sexual harassment policies we suggest is a survivor-based approach. It’s the most efficient method, which empowers survivors of sexual harassment, and strives to meet their individual needs. It also averts possible future incidences of sexual harassment.

In the initial piece, we explored the first three steps necessary in drafting the policy. The first step is to set the intention of the policy, and that it should be clearly articulated in the policy.
