STEPS TO BE TAKEN WHEN FACING HARASSMENT AT WORKPLACE
08-Aug-2023 (In Corporate Law)
There are really three key things you should do when you experience sexual (or any other) harassment at workplace:
Document everything: Times, dates, people, circumstances. Be as specific as possible, no matter how embarrassing the deatil may be. This information is admissible as evidence if the matters were to go to trial.
Report each incident to the Internal Complaint Committee in your office: File a complaint against the concerned person. Filing complaint is the most important step, the same should be done without any delay and be done vigilantly, every meeting by ICC should be taken seriously. Participation in the investigation process, whenever asked to, is another important step.
Hire a lawyer: These things can get very messy, very quickly, and having an attorney on your side to advise you on what steps you can take to protect yourself and build evidence is necessary. You don't have to file a lawsuit if you don't want to - but you should still have a lawyer available to advise you.
There are other things you can do, like making sure you say "no" clearly and unequivocally, making sure there's always more than just the two of you in any room at any given time, etc. But the three things above are really the keys to making sure, that you have the evidence and procedural rights to file a lawsuit against your employer if you so choose to.
