Manager and Supervisor Roles in Prevention and Intervention
Highlights the responsibilities of managers and supervisors in preventing harassment and facilitating fair, timely interventions.

Managers and supervisors set the tone for the workplace. They model inclusive behavior, clarify expectations, and address concerns promptly.

When concerns arise, managers should listen neutrally, avoid bias, and work with HR to initiate an appropriate inquiry.

Managers must protect complainants from retaliation, keep information confidential as allowed, and communicate next steps and timelines clearly.

They should provide team training, monitor for patterns, and reflect respectful conduct in performance conversations and development plans.
