Keep Your Mouth Open:
It is Your Responsibility
The recent headlines remind us we all have a responsibility to report inappropriate and harassing workplace behavior. We had a saying in the 60s: If you are not a part of the solution, you are a part of the problem.
The act of not speaking up is a form of silent compliance. Why don’t people speak up more? Here are some of the top reasons:
- Go along to get along. The cultural norms of the group are strong and difficult to oppose.
- Don’t’ want to rock the boat.
- Avoidance: It will go away.
Besides doing the “right thing,” remember the US has half the world’s lawyers; we are the most litigious country. And although your organization has legal counsel, you can be sued for damages in a civil claim.
If you observe something, report it to your supervisor or HR officer. |
