Hi all
Recently i came across an article in one of the blogs. It was about sexual harassment policy followed across by companies all over the world.
Would like the experts and seniors to throw some light as to how to handle such situations or how it should be handled.
If there occurs a situation wherein one of the senior members of the team by mistake (when not in senses) had tried to make inappropriate advance with another team member of the same sex. I am aware that this is an offense however if such an act happens not in an official environment but in a personal environment and it was purely an accident by the senior team member ( not done intentionally), can company management take strict actions on this. Also if company cannot take actions on this as it happened outside the offical environment, can the other team member sue the senior team member in court?
My apologies if my question has not been framed appropriately or if i missed out some important info required.
