Explanation / Answer
sexual harassment :
* trying to / forcing to make unwanted / unwilling sexual advances from a person , may it be men / women.
* may it be workplace / any other social situation or professional gathering.
these kind of things always obstruct the smoothy work and free minded professional work structure.
may not be every single employee but most of them would face these situations atleast once.
so a specific policy against sexual harassment definitely serves in bettering situation.
POLICY AGAINST WORKPLACE SEXUAL HARASSMENT :
1. description and explanation :
* initially. what all are and what all are not considered as sexual harrasment have to be clearly mentioned and specified.
i.e. " Any talk / act against any employee in making sexual advantage with no will and wish from other person is called sexual harassment "
this clear intimation and bifurcation is required because no person will be able to make undue advantage out of it.
2. policy formulation :
* the eternal golden statement
" prevention is better than cure "
thus instead concentrating how to handle after attacks it is better to initially concentrate on how to prevent those happenings. and thus following are few solutions
self help
self defence
3. policy in detail.
A 3 AGENDA POLICY.
" TELL IT. TRICK IT. TARE IT " ( T3 POLICY in short )
i. tell it.
* when any unusual sexual harassing behaviour observed from him / her / them. then raise voice to tell it and specific addressing forum in this behalf for all city employees of city michigan will be made available
the contacting details of the same along with watsapp / other networking facilities will also be made available.
ii. trick it.
there always exists several ways to handle single situation.
thus in order to protect yourselves from unwanted happenings.
* self defencive training course of 5 days is being introduced.
* facilities to provide audio / video proofs while redressing to our helping page is made available.
* emergency escort services are also made available during unusual work timings.
iii. tare it.
now that the problem reaches our help forum. it is our duty to solve in 7 days. if not responded / could not solve the same then the team assures that the relevant individuals unusual behavioural pattern proofs will be farwarded to HR management departmental head and the same will be uploaded on our page naming the both complained person and unusually behaving persons names as anonymous to general viewers of page.
just to secure the minimal reputation pattern of the persons.
but if 3 repitative complaints obtained on same person then this team will not hesitate to publicly post / let know everyone regarding his acts / talks.
in this area a specific guidelines from respective legal person is ensured such that everything happens with in the provisions of law.
4. faults in currently being followed sexual harassment policies :
* the policies which have framed since earlier are actually being stagnant and non adaptable.
* consistent models of formulations are letting the employees know what are the existing limitations and thus few people are making undue advantage of the same.
* thus a specific policy with flexibity as per requirements and adaptibility as per situation is to be provided in order to ensure complete success.
* also a person harassing will fear of not doing it only when he has fear that any action by him in smoothy work place environment would result in Loss of his reputation.
thus if all these points are kept in mind and implemented then there would definitely be success.
