Legal Obligations
Organizations have a duty to provide a safe and respectful workplace. Laws vary by country, but they commonly require prompt investigations of complaints and protections against retaliation.
Policy Foundations
Policies define acceptable conduct, reporting channels, and escalation processes. They set expectations for all staff and align with legal requirements.
Investigation and Remedies
Investigations should be fair, confidential, timely, and evidence-based. Remedies may include coaching, training, discipline, or policy changes to prevent recurrence.
