“Some people thought that working remotely would end harassment, but it didn’t. Harassment just changed.” The pandemic caused a multitude of sudden changes in our daily lives, and the business world wasn’t an exception. Remote work was previously an uncommon benefit; suddenly, every company had to offer remote work or stall completely. For offices that were more experienced with remote work, they may have had protocols for preventing issues. But for the vast majority of businesses, this was new territory, and mistakes were bound to happen. Toxic behavior is not limited to in-person interactions. Harassment can and does happen remotely via email, phone, text messages, chat services, and more. Employers need to prepare for digital harassment by having processes in place to handle these situations. In this episode of HR in 15, Ken McCarthy, President of Integrity by McCarthy, Inc., returns to speak with Kelly Tavares, an HRBP at PrestigePEO, about how to prevent digital harassment.
