The Apartment it was no zero- tolerance harassment program used in this particular work environment. There were all types of harassment going on in this movie mainly sexual harassment and work place harassment amongst the male and female employees. Some of the male employees that were on the executive level are guilty of quid pro quo toward their fellow male employee of a much lower level than the executives. His superiors were using his apartment to have affairs with women that they work with in exchange he will move up quickly in the company, which h did in only four months.
“Managers should use zero-tolerance harassment policies to take action even for offensive conduct that does not meet the legal standard of a harassing environment. The reason is that even mild forms of harassment that go unchecked can disrupt an operation through decreased morale and productivity and increased employee turnover”
The man that was in charge of everyone was guilty of having sexual relationships with women that worked closely with him as an assistant or women that worked in other parts of the company. These relationships lead to unnecessary firing and secretly listening to the boss’s conversations.
“In all cases, a company will be held liable for a hostile work environment created by its workers if it knew (or should have known) that the harassment was occurring and it did not take reasonable action to stop it”
There also was a male employee that slapped the elevator woman on the butt which she should have reported to human resources. The man then proceeded to make sexual comments about the woman and other female employees which should have been reported by the male employee he was talking to but he was currently receiving quid pro quo harassment from him so he can move up in the company.
“Managers should use zero-tolerance harassment policies to take action even for offensive conduct that does not meet the legal standard of a harassing environment.
This movie has shown me what professionalism should be tolerated and what clearly should not be tolerated.
