SU Sexual Harassment in Workplaces Essay

 

I’m trying to learn for my Health & Medical class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

Scenario: You are the HR manager of a healthcare organization. One of the newly appointed nurses has complained about a senior doctor. She claims that the doctor sends her obscene messages on her cell phone and also makes obscene gestures at her.

Tasks:

Write a paper addressing the following:

  • How would you define sexual harassment? What is the legal definition?
  • Does the complaint in the scenario fall under the definition of sexual harassment? Why or why not?
  • What would be the implications of this complaint, if it is found true, for the senior doctor and the healthcare organization?
  • How would you, as an HR manager, address this complaint? What does the law require of HRM in such cases?
  • What steps would you take to prevent this kind of situation from recurring?
