Video Transcript: Sexual Harassment At Work
When you’re experiencing sexual harassment in the workplace, the first obligation that you have as a target of sexual harassment is to report it to the employer, to let them know what’s happening and give them an opportunity to investigate it and, hopefully, take appropriate corrective action. What we first do is assist the client in raising that complaint as thoroughly and as persuasively as possible with the employer.Then we help them through every step of the investigation that ensues. If the employer doesn’t do the right thing, doesn’t fix the problem, doesn’t get rid of the harasser, or otherwise may retaliate against our client, then we’re gonna do everything we can to hold that employer accountable. We will work with our client to develop a strategy to do that. Sometimes that involve working the workplace and then pursuing your legal rights, suing the employer. Sometimes it involves getting the employer to do the right thing, to fix it. Whatever it involves, we’re gonna be committed to working with our client through every step of the process, even into litigation if necessary.
