What are the steps to take if it is discovered that there is discrimination and harassment taking place in the workplace?
First and foremost, everything must be documented in writing. This ensures if any investigation must take place, every piece of information has been taken down and documented correctly at the time it took place. This also protects the company if any further questioning is needed. When it is brought to your attention, please take a formal statement from your employee. All documents should be signed by you and the employee. All the information must be made strictly confidential and the harassment should then be put under investigation.
