Policies to Combat Sexual Harassment

Industrial Relations and Personnel Management area in the School of Management at the Western Australian Institute of Technology

This article reviews some recent surveys conducted overseas on sexual harassment of women and draws some conclusions for the Human Resource Manager in A ustralia. The findings are that sexual harassment is common overseas and is most likely the same in Australia. To overcome the problem which the Hill case in the New South Wales Water Commission has highlighted, it is suggested that, (1) a company should have a policy on sexual harassment, (2) the Human Resource Manager be responsible for receiving complaints, (3) sexual harassment be grounds for disciplinary action, and (4) supervisor must act on any complaints of harassment.
