Discussion 2.1: Management - Sexual Harassment

Discussion 2.1As the manager in charge of production, the best decision would be to informally reprimand the two men accused of sexual harassment. In the above case, it is not clear if the two men really sexually harassed the two women, or it was the women’s way of getting back on the men after their relationship went bad, as the men claim. This is because; it is the word of the male employees against the female employees. As the first female manager, it is the duty of Sara to demonstrate that she can manage both male and female employees without bias. Therefore, it would send a negative image to the male employees, who constitute the majority of the workforce in the department, should she decide to put a formal reprimand in the men’s personnel records without evidence of misconduct. False allegations of sexual harassment can seriously affect the career and reputation of the victims. On the other hand, there is also a need to send a strong message to the employees that sexual harassment is not tolerated in the company. Therefore, the manager would be justified to informally reprimand the two male employees.Response 2.1Response Hi Dina,I am impressed
