Assignment Help Management Theories

Reference no: EM133673385

Question: Assume that ABKW had anti-harassment policies and reporting procedures designed to detect and prevent sexual harassment. When ABKW supervisors learned of the sexually offensive language permeating the work environment, the behavior was immediately halted and the individuals responsible for the language were punished. Supervisors also offered to transfer her to another location in the company and not work with the offenders again. Nevins did not report the inappropriate behavior, declined the transfer, and sued ABKW anyway. ABKW would normally be held liable to Nevins because it did not take reasonable care to prevent and promptly correct any sexually harassing behavior and Nevins unreasonably failed to take advantage of preventive or corrective opportunities provided by the employer to avoid harm
