摘要

公司需要把重点放在消除客户对员工的性骚扰上。客户的性骚扰可能会迫使有价值的员工离开公司，并导致雇主承担责任。此外，处理来自客户的性骚扰可能会很棘手，因为公司在承认和处理性骚扰投诉方面有不同的政策。为了解决这个问题，公司应该采取积极措施，确保客户对性骚扰负责，最终目标是完全消除性骚扰。本文为此类前瞻性步骤提供了建议，包括内部基准测试、有针对性的政策制定、有效的内部培训以及利用合同条款来增加问责制。

Proactive efforts to eliminate sexual harassment by clients

Companies need to focus on eradicating the sexual harassment of their employees at the hands of clients. Sexual harassment by clients can push valuable employees out of the company and cause the employer to be liable. In addition, addressing sexual harassment from clients can be tricky, as companies have differing policies related to acknowledging and addressing sexual harassment complaints. To combat this, companies should take proactive steps to ensure that clients are held accountable for sexual harassment with the ultimate goal of eliminating harassment entirely. This article provides recommendations for such proactive steps, including internal benchmarking, targeted policymaking, effective internal training, and the utilization of contract provisions to increase accountability.
