Sexual harassment in the workplace

Tiddlywinks

It was an incident that happened between two adults AT WORK.

It was apparently not a serious enough incident to be reported to the police... so handled internally by the employer.

The employer has acted on the complaint - job done.

If the 'victim' is unhappy with the outcome of the investigation then they can raise an appeal / grievance.

No not asking you..yes sorry wasn't saying the father has any legal right,just seeing the situation as a dad would.


They might well be but for me as a dad,i couldn't imagine not offering my help (might not be wanted which would be fine) to either my kids or my wife.

That's fine then, morally he may well feel that way (and you might too, and I might). However well meaning behaviour can actually be detrimental to the daughter.


Marching in disrupting the working environment would almost certainly cause difficulty for the daughter. The company have made it clear they wish to retain the man in question. They will not take kindly to a matter which they consider settled being brought up again.


Help can be supportive and not confrontational. Many men see them selves as fixers, admirable but dangerous.

Can we refer to the man as "spanker" and the woman as "spankee", that would really liven up this story. Anyway, as many people have insinuated; mind your own business, OP, there's your solution.

To everyone who is advising the OP to mind his own business: would it blow your mind to learn that the OP himself has a valid sexual harassment claim based on what he's described here?

Seriously? If one of my colleague slapped my !!!! I'd feel pretty damn uncomfortable being around them after that, and if the company didn't take the issue seriously then why would I feel particularly safe?

Agree completely. If two colleagues have a verbal argument, they can forget about it, but if one of them thinks sexual touching is appropriate, the other will always feel uncomfortable around them.

It's because women have historically put up with this stuff/no action has been taken that workplace behaviour is where it is now - it should never be OK to sexually touch a colleague and everyone who witnesses or experiences it should speak up. In this climate where people still see the person who complains as making a fuss, it's easier said than done for some.

They need to give these spammers better training. The behaviour is such a dead giveaway he might as well have the user name "Spammy McSpammer" and have done with it.

That, and the weird English.
