Me Too.
#MeToo has sparked renewed conversation about workplace sexual harassment. But are we talking about the right things?
How can we prevent harassment?
Instead of “How do I respond to harassment?”
The Problem
Most organizations are locked into a cycle of reacting to individual incidents after the fact, never stepping back to consider the underlying factors that make workplace harassment more or less likely to arise and persist.
Since only about 30% of workplace sexual harassment is formally reported, trying to prevent sexual harassment by optimizing your response to these complaints is like trying to melt an iceberg with a hairdryer.
Sexual harassment is a complex and persistent problem. To make real progress in addressing it we need to have a different conversation, once based on humility and curiosity.
