Promising a promotion in return for sexual favors is illegal and may be grounds for a quid pro quo sexual harassment lawsuit. While managers and supervisors are held to a higher legal standard in sexual harassment cases, sexual harassment prevention is everyone’s responsibility. What it all comes down to is this – preventing sexual harassment is about recognizing what’s going on around us and then making good decisions.

Preventing sexual harassment means making sure that we’re treating employees, coworkers, customers, vendors – anyone we deal with in the workplace – with absolute dignity and respect.
