Abstract

Although sexual behaviour in the workplace is not a recent phenomenon, only within the past ten years have companies began to understand the implications of sexual harassment in the corporate environment. In a 1988 study, Working Woman magazine stated that 90 per cent of Fortune 500 companies had received sexual harassment complaints; and these sexual harassment problems cost the average Fortune 500 company approximately $6.7 million per year in legal costs, employee absenteeism, turnover and lack of production [4, p. 67].
