Procedures and policies regarding sexual harassment are designed to provide guidelines for the elimination of any sexual improprieties and sexual pressures. They are put in place to ensure that all employees are treated with respect and dignity, and to create a safe and professional work environment where everyone can perform their job without fear of unwanted advances or harassment. While avoiding lawsuits and promoting safety in the workplace are certainly important goals, the primary purpose of sexual harassment policies and procedures is to prevent sexual misconduct and to provide a clear process for reporting and resolving any incidents that may occur.
