Hello!

Let's take a quick quiz on Sexual Harassment In the Workplace

1) True or false: Sexual harassment always involves conduct directed at the alleged victim.

2) Eric is easily angered. However, the employer considers him an asset. Therefore Lily the manager typically tells him to just calm down when he's ranting. One day, Eric's co-worker Vanice complains to Lily the women in the department think Eric’s angry yelling and ranting is harassment. Lily should:

a. Order Eric to stop this behavior.

b. Ask HR to investigate this matter as she should for an obvious allegation of sexual harassment.

c. Begin an investigation herself.

3) True or false: The most accurate way to recognize a non-obvious sexual harassment scenario is to ask yourself "Does that bother me"?

4) In this scenario, what did supervisor Thomas do wrong in reviewing Yvonne's complaint about co-worker Mike's sexually heavy conversations?

a. He told her she should watch her own conversations.

b. He assumed she didn’t mind hearing similar comments from other male co-workers,she shouldn't mind hearing them from Mike.

c. He dealt with Yvonne as "one of the fellas".

5) Shelia and Greg's cubicles are next to each other in an insurance company. Greg constantly curses using derogatory words about women. Rhonda the supervisor is aware of this. However she considers it trivial and does nothing. Eventually Shelia complains to Rhonda that Greg's cursing comments about women are offensive to her. Rhonda should:

a. Tell Greg his comments violate the company’s policy on sexual harassment and he’ll be disciplined.

b. Move Greg's cubicle to another part of the department away from Shelia.

c. Offer Shelia extra work privileges if she overlooks Greg's comments.

d. Issue an office correspondence prohibiting profanity.

6. True or false: A manager must completely investigate any complaint of sexual harassment.

7. What do these scenarios say the two main types of sexual harassment are?

a. Blatant and non-obvious.

b. Opposite-sex and same-sex.

c. Purposeful and accidental.

d. Quid pro quo and hostile work environment.

1. True or false: Sexual harassment always involves conduct directed at the alleged victim. The Best Answer: False - Hostile sexual behavior observed or experienced by may still add up to harassment even when not directed at the employee – if it’s severe and pervasive enough.

2. Eric is easily angered. However, the employer considers him an asset. Therefore Lily the manager typically tells him to just calm down when he's ranting. One day, Erics co-worker Vanice complain to Lily the women in the department think Eric’s angry yelling and ranting is harassment. Lily should:

The Best Answer: b. Ask HR to investigate this matter as she should for an obvious allegation of sexual harassment. Mark could be targeting women because of their gender.

3. True or false: The most accurate way to recognize a non-obvious sexual harassment scenario is to ask yourself "Does that bother me"?

The Best Answer: False - The test is whether the situation would bother a “reasonable person.”

4. In this scenario, what did supervisor Thomas do wrong in reviewing Yvonne's complaint about co-worker Mike's sexually heavy conversations?

The Best Answer: b. He assumed she didn’t mind hearing similar comments from other male co-workers, she shouldn't mind hearing them from Mike. The same kind of sexual conduct may be welcome from one person and unwelcome – and therefore unlawful – from another.

5. Shelia and Greg's cubicles are next to each other in an insurance company. Greg constantly curses using derogatory words about women. Rhonda the supervisor is aware of this. However she considers it trivial and does nothing. Eventually Shelia complains to Rhonda that Greg's cursing comments about women are offensive to her. Rhonda should:

The Best Answer: a. Tell Greg his comments violate the company’s policy on sexual harassment and he’ll be disciplined. Rhonda should also tell Greg that HR has been informed. Greg will be disciplined and that Shelia should speak up if Greg's behavior continues.

6. True or false: A manager must completely investigate any complaint of sexual harassment.

The Best Answer: False - Generally, a manager seeks to understand what happened. It then is HR or the person responsible for enforcing the employers' sexual harassment policy to investigate the complaint. The company through its HR Department must fully investigate sexual harassment complaints.

7. What do these scenarios say the two main types of sexual harassment are?

The Best Answer: d. Quid pro quo and hostile work environment.
