The Maryland Commission on Human Relations encourages employers to take steps to prevent sexual harassment.
In deciding the outcome of a sexual harassment case, the agency will favorably consider the preventative steps the employer has taken.
To reduce exposure to charges of sexual harassment, employers are encouraged to:
- Implement and maintain anti-harassment policies;
- Notify their workforce about these policies; and
- Provide training to assist employees and supervisors in recognizing and preventing sexual harassment.
