Read the following scenario and answer the question in 5-10 sentences.
You are the president of a HumTech, a technology consulting company, and have received some startling news. Richard is one of your information technology supervisors. You learn that Richard has been emailing Brenda, an information technology technician who reports to him, pornographic photos and sexually-directed jokes. Brenda told Richard to stop, but Richard continued to send the emails to Brenda. In response to Richard’s conduct, Brenda abruptly quit and filed a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Preventing sexual harassment has been a major priority for you, and you have established extensive complaint procedures, dispute resolution mechanisms, and sexual harassment prevention policies. You are surprised that Brenda didn’t use these resources before seeking legal redress. Evaluate whether your company may be held liable for Richard’s conduct.
