Dear Kareen,

Replies to your question are as below:

1) If an employee want to complain to HR manager that he or she had being sexual harassment, what expected information that HR manager would like to get from the employee for the further action?

Comments: - If woman employee complains of the sexual harassment, then she need to put to proper application with the following information:

• Where the sexual harassment took place? When did it take place?
  
  Was there only one person who was harassed or there were several victims of the harassment
  
  Is the sexual harassment by only one person or there are several persons?
  
  Is there any material evidence of the harassment?
  
  Is there any witness who is ready corroborate?

2) What are the ways to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace?

Comments: - Following steps may be taken:

• Educate employees on gender equality. Conduct training programmes on the punitive measures that men employees might have to place.
  
  What will be considered as sexual harassment?
  
  For the woman employees, conduct training on process of handling sexual harassment. How they should not lose out because of non-availability of evidence. All tell them what does not constitute as sexual harassment.
  
  Have a proper policy on workplace romance. Today's romance could potential case tomorrow's case for sexual harassment.
  
  Strict action against those who involve in the workplace romance.
