“This was the first time management liability and responsibility had been explained to me in the years I’ve been a supervisor. I always thought sexual harassment was a way people used the system to get out of working, I mean we are all adults, right? If you don’t like something walk away. I never realized the effect that some things had on people and on their productivity. This really opened my eyes. I have a lot of work to do in my department! Thanks!”
