Peter shares eye-opening statistics on sexual harassment, such as the estimated 98% of U.S. organizations having a policy, the prevalence of unreported incidents, and the disturbing trend of retaliation against those who come forward. We discuss the decline in reported cases and its potential implications, emphasizing the importance of addressing the issue head-on.

Our conversation goes on to explore the most crucial steps organizations can take to handle sexual harassment in the workplace and, most importantly, how to prevent sexual harassment, including clear policy communication, regular training, and effective enforcement. We also delve into the growing challenge of addressing harassment in remote work settings and the need for updated policies and education.

Tune in to discover why victims may hesitate to report harassment, the consequences for organizations that fail to address complaints, and whether victims should confront their harassers before making formal complaints. Peter provides valuable insights and recommendations for creating a workplace where all employees feel heard and protected.

If you’re passionate about fostering a safe and respectful work environment, this episode is a must-listen. Join us as we navigate the complexities of preventing sexual harassment in the workplace.
