GNYADA 2019 Membership Directory & Services Guide

• Harassment frequently leads to job dissatisfaction and low productivity —not just for the people who experience it, but those who observe it happening to others. • A decade’s worth of studies have linked sexual harassment to numerous physical and psychological health issues . Harassment drags down an organization’s bottom line. The claims management and investigation process siphons departments’ time and resources. Employees often report difficulty concentrating on and engaging with work; engagement and teamwork plummet while tardiness and absenteeism increase. Harassment hurts an organization’s reputation and ability to attract new business. Perceived misconduct and incivility towards workers turns away not only current and potential employees, but current and future clients and customers. These associations with a brand may last for years. Don’t wait until a claim surfaces to address this dizzying array of direct and indirect costs. Develop a comprehensive harassment prevention initiative that harnesses technology, best practices, and the concerted efforts of your workforce to maintain a harassment-free workplace.
