Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Developing an explicit policy against sexual harassment and a system to investigate allegations is the best way for a company to avoid liability against sexual harassment. It creates a clear standard for behavior and a process to address any complaints. Developing an affirmative action program and demonstrating job relatedness do not specifically address sexual harassment. Using the defense of a BFOQ (Bona Fide Occupational Qualification) is rarely successful in cases of sexual harassment as it is difficult to prove that the harassment is necessary for the job.
