Does Prince Georges County Government have a policy against Sexual Harassment? How are complaints handled?
Yes, Executive Order 61-1995 establishes a policy for a work environment that is free from discrimination, intimidation or harassment. The County has zero tolerance for workplace harassment. Workplace Harassment Avoidance Training (WHAT) is also incorporated into the New Employee Orientation program. The Director of Human Resources Management investigates all reported sexual harassment complaints with care, sensitivity and confidentiality. The investigation includes interviews with witnesses, the complainant, the accused and a written report of findings and determinations. Violators of the sexual harassment policy, including employees who intentionally and falsely accuse co-workers of sexual harassment, are appropriately disciplined.
