Report
Meeting held on 5 December 2017
The problem in consideration is that of harassment in the workplace. This is a serious issue and as a CEO it is not taken lightly by me. The complaint has come from Ms. Siria. She is pregnant and has complained t
o me that Mr James, the factory supervisor has been harassing her because he wants her to leave the organization. This is a serious concern and is to be taken very seriously not only for the benefit of the employee but also because it can lead to complicated legal issues for the Company. Such a case can also destroy the goodwill of our Company.
The issue will be resolved in the following manner:
1. Get the inputs of the other team members. This involves taking their views and whether they are aware of such or similar instances.
2. Since Ms. Siria is from the marketing team, the marketing manager will instructed to speak to her to get the details of the harassment. This includes collecting the date and type of harassment she faced. It is important that all details be duly recorded and signed by both parties. Confidentiality should be guaranteed.
3. The HR manager has an important role to play. He will be assigned the task of investigating the issue and getting the details from Mr James. Again, the details of the meeting must be recorded. The HR manager should check upon whether there is a previous complaint against Mr James.
4. The various course of actions will be decided during the meeting.
