You are a member of the employee relations group in a hospital. Your task today is to address an issue (described below) that has come up.
You are investigating a harassment complaint brought by one of the female employees against a male co-worker.
In an interview with the woman, she described an incident where a male co-worker, a native of a European country, made what she felt was an inappropriate comment to her. At lunch one day, attended by only the two of them, he remarked that he “found her very sexual.” She felt that the remark was completely out of linebecause he was married and became extremely upset. She has refused to have any further contact with him. She is very angry at his continued attempts to talk with her. When you spoke with him, he explained that he meant the remark as a compliment and has been trying to apologize.
Answer the following questions:
1. What are the point of views of the man and the woman?
2. What are some issues that could arise if only one of the parties is satisfied. Consider the effect on the each of the parties, on all employees at the company, and on the company itself. Provide possible solutions that would satisfy both parties.
