Handling Inappropriate Remarks at Work: How Should We Address This Incident?

Hi all,

During one of our fun at work sessions playing dumb charades, a colleague made a color-based remark to another colleague, calling him dark because he had to act out the color black. We would like to know the procedure to resolve this issue.

Is a written apology to the aggrieved party mandatory? If the aggrieved party accepts the apology, does that close the case? Should management issue a notice to the colleague who made the inappropriate remark?

Thank you

It does not fall under the category of POSH. In counseling or an apology letter, you can close it.

You can file a complaint with the Grievance Redressal Committee and summon the parties involved to resolve the issue.
