Remedies: Victim-Centered Support and Access to Services
Introduction to victim-centered remedies, outlining available support services, privacy considerations, and steps to access help after harassment.

Purpose and Scope

We adopt a victim-centered approach to support employees affected by harassment. The focus is on safety, privacy, informed choice, and dignity. This framework aims to reduce harm and empower affected colleagues to access resources without fear of retaliation.

Support Services Provided

Organizations offer confidential counseling (EAP), advocacy, legal guidance, and access to internal ombudspersons. In addition, accommodations can reduce contact with the alleged harasser while investigations proceed.

Access and Privacy

Requests for support should be straightforward. Provide clear contact points, keep records securely, and share information only with consent and on a need-to-know basis.

Next Steps

Document the support plan, schedule check-ins, and adjust services as the employee’s needs evolve. Review safety measures to ensure ongoing protection.
