How to Avoid Harassment in the Workplace

Bullying, harassment and discrimination can go viral in the workplace and result in doom. Just like what happened to Fox TV's Bill O'Reilly. Many people believe there is a gray area where some degree of inappropriate conduct is tolerable.

In reality, intolerable behavior can be clearly defined and set forth in company policies that minimize gray areas and provide crystal-clear standards for your organization’s culture.
