The #MeToo has made coverage against sexual misconduct a necessity for many businesses. The movement brought to light the egregious practices of famous men and has become a grassroots effort to affect businesses of all shapes and sizes. Staffing firms are in a unique position as sexual misconduct can affect an employee either at the firm or the client’s business.
Behavior Training
The website www.wwspi.com points out that molestation and sexual misconduct allegations can cause damage to the company’s reputation and financial assets. One way to combat the risk is to train all employees on appropriate workplace behavior. The training should go beyond what is appropriate regarding words and touch, but also it should include the impacts of those behaviors on others within the workplace.
