In reply to the discussion: OK retired DUers - how did you handle sexual harassment back in the day [View all]MLAA
(17,374 posts)that had documented HR policies about any kind of harassment. When there was a complaint it was immediately investigated and very shortly if it was verified the person would disappear whether entry level or executive. There one day and gone the next. There was annual mandatory sexual harassment training. It was taken 100% seriously. My only encounter with the process was in my first year back in 1982 is someone must have overheard my office mate say something to me they thought was inappropriate. HR called me and asked me about it and explained there was no issue.
And of course the same was true of discrimination of any kind, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation. I believe my company was the first or one of the first to have an LGBT officer within HR to ensure fairness and respect for everyone. So I was totally sheltered.
