4.0 out of 5 stars Good general overveiw, April 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Workplace Sexual Harassment (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

This book provides a good general overveiw into sexual harassment. It also provides details as to what an employer should do to limit liability. Beyond that it gives examples of interveiws and ideas for implementing a policy. This is a good choice for those without an extensive HR department who need a general guide. Lost one star because it is not a be all end all guide, but I doubt that was the intention.
