Under Title IV of The Civil Rights Act of 1964, harassment onrepparttar basis of sex, race, color, religion or national origin will not be tolerated inrepparttar 142826 workplace.

To help companies comply with this law,repparttar 142827 EEOC established a set of guidelines defining three primary elements a company must implement to demonstrate its commitment to providing employees with a safe work environment free of harassment.

1.Educate employees. Explain what harassing behavior is and that it's not tolerated.

2.Provide a reporting system and make all employees aware of that system. Make sure everyone knows who they can go to if they feel they're being harassed.

3.Plan for action. Have investigative procedures in place and look intorepparttar 142828 claim quickly.

Two U.S. Supreme Court cases helped better define a company's responsibility, in particular regarding charges of sexual harassment. The two cases – Faragher vs. City of Boca Raton and Burlington Industries vs. Ellerth – gave birth torepparttar 142829 Affirmative Defense Strategy.

The Affirmative Defense Strategy is recognized inrepparttar 142830 courts as a way for companies to reduce their liability if they followrepparttar 142831 training guidelines established byrepparttar 142832 EEOC.
