In today’s workplace, a strong sexual harassment policy is essential. EEOC data show sexual harassment charges have risen for three straight years—5,581 (FY2021), 6,201 (FY2022), and 7,732 (FY2023)—even as monetary recoveries remained relatively steady. Against the backdrop of 81,055 total discrimination charges in FY2023, a zero tolerance policy at work is a clear, proactive step to protect employees and reduce risk.
