Ten years ago, Tarana Burke created the “Me Too” campaign as a grass-roots movement to reach sexual assault survivors in underprivileged communities. The campaign recently grabbed the national spotlight after actress Alyssa Milano used the phrase in a tweet arising from the numerous reports of women who have accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment, sexual assault and other unlawful conduct. In the weeks that followed, thousands of victims have come and continue to come forward to report instances of harassment and abuse in the workplace. As an employer, you have a legal responsibility to implement rules and procedures to prevent and correct such abuse occurring in the workplace. It is imperative that you protect your employees from harassment and company from the fallout that accompanies inadequate safeguards and compliance.
