Obviously, his behaviour of “sexually charged looks and gestures” and “unnecessary touching” such as hugging is a sexual harassment action to women if the women were not willing to. And first, we should confirm this issue that Haddad really had done those things to female staffs and his actions corresponded to the reports from at least 10 women. Sexual harassment cases are hard to confirm because it rarely has witnesses, so a proper investigation should take place to the authenticity of Haddad’s behaviour, If it corresponds to the reports that he allegedly sexually harassed to the female staffs, he have to be terminated. And there are three “progressive discipline policy” that written warnings, suspensions, and determination, the reason I think he should be terminated , not written warnings or suspensions is that he has high level position in the company he number of victims is more than ten, it is a sexual harassment case that by senior management personnel to numbers of female staffs. If he does not be fired, and his behaviour would go beyond the scope of the company’s definition of sexual harassment, then many female staffs would be “legally” harassed.
Outline and assess feminist explanations of crime and deviance. Feminist views toward crime and deviance usually challenge the theories, concepts, methods and assumptions of most of the people already involved in the study of crime. They believe that in most condition men dominate the subject of crime and validate more on the male subject. Feminist essentially outline that most crime is caused by men as they appear to offend six or seven times more than a women and through figures such as self-report studies men are still the majority. Crime and deviance is an issue in society however due to women being socially controlled within the patriarchal society it means they are less like to commit crime and therefore have a lower rate.
Target Audience This training is intended for Upper Management, Floor Supervisors, and Team Leaders. This course will enable these individuals to respond quickly and properly to situations that may involve improper conduct, unwelcome communication, and/or lewd behavior. This course will also provide these individuals with a basic understanding of what is and what isn’t acceptable behavior in the work place. Data Collection To determine the need of Sexual Harassment Training in the work place, disciplinary and compliant forms from the past 5 years were reviewed and data was complied based on the number of complaints and write-ups. Management level employees had an open round-table meeting where problems were identified and questions were asked and answered: * What is sexual harassment?
A key part of sexual harassment is that it is one sided and unwanted. There is a great difference between sexual harassment and romance or friendship, since those are mutual feelings of two people. Often sexual harassment makes the victim feel guilty, but it is important for the victim to remember that it is not their fault; the fault lies totally on the person who is the harasser. Many times fear is involved in sexual harassment because it isn't about physical attraction, it's about power. S/he is generally in a position to reward and/or punish the victim, based on whether or not the offensive behavior is tolerated or granted.
In society, when the words “sex offender” are brought up, the public usually has the same image in their mind. They usually would see this image of an older male that unceasingly tries to get with children. They public also has a stereotype for this image, that once your sex offender, you’re always a sex offender. Sex offenders are seen as among the most dangerous kinds of offender in terms of both the impact that their wrongdoing has on victims’ lives and because of concerns about their risk of reoffending. However it has recently came to question of whether this perception of dangerousness is supported.
What action to take if you suspect abuse… Every member of staff has a professional and moral duty to report any witnessed or suspected abuse to their senior or line manager. If you witness/suspect abuse or any unsafe practices firstly ensure the safety of the individual (if in immediate danger). If you witness unsafe practices discuss with the colleague about the unsafe practice and the risks involved; show the safe way to do and explain how it minimises the risk. All abuse allegations and unsafe practices MUST be reported to your senior or line manager on duty IMMEDIATELY. Ensure any verbal reports have been put into writing and make a copy for your manager and keep a copy for yourself!
We expect the supervisor to make demands that are related to business( Howard, Linda Gordon 2007). Although many people define different actions as sexual harassment, the main idea of the concept remains the same across the
Why do people label and group other people? We label and group other people in order to give them a distinct identity in the society we are in. I believe we label them or mentally sort them into a certain group so that we know how to act around them. It's something most people do automatically to simplify their social interactions. Labeling and grouping other people usually only becomes a problem when we label and group someone incorrectly in a negative manner, which is what most of us associate stereotypes with.
The second is defined as “hostile work environment”, which occurs when individuals are feeling uncomfortable because of working in an offensive or sexist work environment. Sexual harassment also have been found to be mainly about men wanting to exercise their power over women because of their disadvantaged status at work (Wilson & Thompson, 2001). It also have been found that sexual harassment is much more present in certain work situations as industries where the power is represented by one sex. If the climate in a company is disrespectful and this ambiance increases, acts of sexual harassment could be seen as normal (Hearn & Parkin, 2005). If somebody is used to that “workplace incivility”, he will be less likely to report an inadequate behavior in the organization and then sort of encourage this to continue (Miner-Rubino and Cortina,
More tolerance. The more different people interact with each other, the more they get used with each other. They learn to accept differences and to stop judging other people just because they are different. In other ways, they become more tolerant of people who do not think and act the same way they do. * * Diversity in the workplace can be a source of struggle or a source of progress.
