Prevention and contract-based controls

Prevention focuses on how we interact with external partners. Use onboarding that includes harassment awareness, provide clear expectations, and require training for staff who may interact with clients, vendors, or contractors.

Contracts with external partners should include explicit anti-harassment clauses, reporting mechanisms, and remedies for violations. Require evidence of compliance training and periodic supplier risk reviews to ensure ongoing adherence to the company's culture of respect and safety.

In practice, procurement and legal teams should coordinate with HR to align policies, monitor behavior, and address issues promptly to maintain a respectful external ecosystem.
