Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Good for beginners Comment: Perfect for the "novice" HR professional -- this book successfully outlines and highlights the necessary steps required for every organization. Those with an awareness of harassment issues already should investigate another (more detailed)selection. Customer Rating: Summary: Succinct and to the point Comment: I found the book to be very informative. It's not just a book about harassment but also about biases and personal prejudices that can influence behavior. The message I came away with was that if you know your predisposition to the things that have impacted you over time, self-control will eliminate harassment as a workplace issue. Customer Rating: Summary: OK, but inconclusive Comment: Another book on how the company can protect themselves, but what if the company doesn't follow their own policy? Where does that leave me? Not a very good book for the victims. Customer Rating: Summary: Good, Practical information Comment: The guide is easy to understand and provides tools and suggestions to identify and deal with harassment awareness and prevention. We have used the material to teach our employees on this critical business issue and the feedback was excellent. I highly recommend this book.
