Preventing workplace harassment

Recognize you’re at risk
Whether the incident leads to a warning, reprimand, suspension, restitution, probation, investigation, or termination, don’t forget the underlying character problem—a lack of respect, courtesy, discretion, loyalty, and justice. This is why character matters: because it defines who we are and how we treat one another at work, at home, and in all of life.
  • ​Follow basic requirements
  • Create a culture of respect
  • Defining What Is Expected
  • Call your company's attorney for professional legal advice on your written policy
  • Justice in the workplace is everyone’s responsibility. This means everyone must be engaged because preventing harassment is critical for team morale and success.
Job Interview Tips for Job-Seekers
  •  Conduct Research on the Employer, Hiring Manager, Job Opportunity. Success in a job interview starts with a solid foundation of knowledge on the job-seeker's part. You should understand the employer, the requirements of the job, and the background of the person (or people) interviewing you. The more research you conduct, the more you'll understand the employer, and the better you'll be able to answer interview questions
  •  Review Common Interview Questions and Prepare Responses. Another key to interview success is preparing responses to expected interview questions.
  •  Dress for Success. Plan out a wardrobe that fits the organization and its culture, striving for the most professional appearance you can accomplish.
  •  Arrive on Time for the Interview -- and Prepared for Success. There is no excuse for ever arriving late for an interview. Strive to arrive about 15 minutes before your scheduled interview to complete additional paperwork and allow yourself time to get settled. Arriving a bit early is also a chance to observe the dynamics of the workplace.
  •  Make Good First Impressions. Make a strong first impression by dressing well, arriving early, and when greeting your interviewer well.
  •  Remember that having a positive attitude and expressing enthusiasm for the job and employer are vital in the initial stages of the interview; studies show that hiring managers make critical decisions about job applicants in the first 20 minutes of the interview.
  •  Be Focused, Confident and Concise during the interview. Provide solid examples of solutions and accomplishments, but keep your responses short and to the point.
  •  Sell Yourself Throughout and then Close the Deal. Usually the most qualified applicant is not always the one who is hired, which means the hired candidate is often the job-seeker who does the best job in responding to interview questions and showcasing his or her fit with the job, department, and organization.
  • Thank Interviewer(s) in Person, by Email, and Postal Mail. Writing thank-you emails and notes shortly after the interview will not get you the job offer, but doing so will certainly give you an edge over any of the other finalists
  • ​ Confront harassment quickly and honestly
