You are the new HR manager for Java Corp. The company has just lost a sexual harassment lawsuit and damages include back pay, front pay, punitive damages, and attorneys fees. The plaintiff, Ms. Stapel, was a female manager who had a consensual sexual relationship with her male boss, Mr. Rowe. Both moved up in title and responsibility over the past 5 years. After the relationship ended, Mr. Rowe made several offensive comments to co-workers about Ms. Stapel, without her knowledge. Later, a number of other employees, who reported to Mr. Rowe, made offensive sexual comments directly to Ms. Stapel.
The company has a harassment policy but only referred someone who felt harassed to their immediate supervisor and provided no other avenues of complaint. Your first project for Java Corp is to create a formal policy that will protect the employees, the organization, and all stakeholders. You will also prepare a PowerPoint that could be used as a training tool for new employees on the importance of following anti-harassment policies.
Prepare a PowerPoint Presentation for upper management training. In your presentation:
Explain the legal basis for protecting employees from harassment with supporting laws or regulations.
Describe different types of sexual harassment found in the workplace. This can include, but not limited to, quid pro quo and hostile work environment.
Explain other types of harassment, outside of sexual harassment, to consider in a workplace policy.
Articulate how an organization can be at risk of harassment claims and how they can best legally protect themselves.
Summarize reporting and investigation procedures. Specifically, discuss how the issue or complaint is brought to HRs attention, who is involved in the investigation, how the communication process works with those involved.
Summarize how the anti-harassment policy should be communicated to employees.
Analyze organizational benefits realized having a sound anti-harassment policy in place. Consider company reputation, employee morale, retention, productivity, and the like.
PowerPoint Presentation
This part of your assignment should also meet the following requirements:
Audience: Create a presentation suitable for the upper management of your selected organization.
Length: 812 slides, including speakers notes, a title slide, and a reference slide.
Validation and support: Use a minimum of seven relevant and credible scholarly or professional resources such as the Wall Street Journal to support your work.
APA format: Format all citations and references in accordance with current APA guidelines.
Complexity: Do not get hung up on adding too many graphics, audio, or video. Select a PowerPoint template appropriate for a professional presentation. Please make sure the background color you choose does not interfere with the font selection and that it is easy to read. Do not overbuild your slides; information that supports and expands on what you say should appear as speakers or presenters notes.
