Sexual harassment continues to remain a real workplace problem. Media stories and studies clarify the high toll that this misconduct takes on targeted employees, coworkers and the overall work environment. A workplace that allows–and even encourages– such conduct cannot promote respect for all employees to obtain their best performance. Delaware has enacted a law requiring most employers to train all employees on sexual harassment prevention and response. Because managers act on behalf of their employer, they have a special duty to promote a workplace free of sexual harassment, seek to prevent such improper conduct and effectively respond to instances and complaints.
