Anti-Workplace Harassment Policy: Voices Wanting to be Heard for a Safe, Productive and Peaceful Community

Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 8, Issue 3

Abstract

Workplace harassment is such a deeply personal experience, only people who have gone through it can describe it in detail and are therefore qualified to serve as an authority in their own right. Previous studies suggest that workplace harassment is such devastating that participants resorted to the following coping styles to survive their workplace harassment-related experiences - clearing the air, availing professional services, spirituality, self-encouragement, positive distraction and support system. With all the things they went through, the participants gained the following learnings and insights -; you don't have to prove yourself to anyone, stand up for one's own right, be wary of trusting people and to look for a silver lining in every situation. Hence, the participants recommended the following to be included in the anti-workplace harassment policy - the administration and the creation of a grievance committee, conduct of workplace harassment assessment, workplace harassment rules and regulations, conduct of annual anti-workplace harassment awareness, orientation and wellness activities. In view of these recommendations, an anti-workplace harassment policy was crafted, which underwent a validation from various experts in the field of human behavior, law and human resource management.
