Organizations must create safe work environments for their employees. I know this might sound obvious, but over 85% of people who experience sexual harassment never file a formal charge and approximately 70%  never complain internally according to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC).

In addition, a 2020 report by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) shows that 55.8% of retaliation complaints occur after reporting a sexual harassment claim. I don’t have to explain that this doesn’t contribute to the goal of creating a safe work environment for employees.
