Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The increase in the number of lawsuits alleging sexual harassment has become one of the most challenging and perplexing legal issues for human resource managers. Orlov, president of a consulting and training firm, and Roumell, a principal at a law firm specializing in labor and employment law, have provided practical guidelines for human resource managers who have to deal with the sexual harassment issue on a daily basis. The work contains information on investigating complaints, suggestions for preventing sexual harassment, a sample prevention policy, preliminary considerations for training programs, case scenarios, checklists, and "test your knowledge" quizzes. It is written in clear and simple language and is a good source for better understanding the existing laws. It is not intended, as the authors state, to provide legal advice or in-depth analysis of the law on sexual harassment. Recommended for patrons involved in human resources and general business collections.ABellinda Wise, Nassau Community Coll. Lib., Garden City, NY

This review is from: What Every Manager Needs to Know About Sexual Harassment (Hardcover)
Managers and supervisors may find it hard to show leadership about sexual harassment when they're not sure what it is and don't feel much confidence about the subject. This book gives managers information and confidence. The chapter that helps readers recognize when their own behavior could expose their employers to liability, even when that is not the supervisor's intention, is especially good. There are many books about sexual harassment, but not many that really talk to managers and can serve as an ongoing support. This is one of the few. Highly recommended.Sarah Magee, Editor "EEO Review" and "Inside Employee Rights Litigation"
