Sexual harassment complaints analyzed in Australian study

by Administrator 17. April 2012 04:22

A recent study done at the University of South Australia analyzes sexual harassment lawsuits in order to determine which party involved is more like to leave their job after the lawsuit has been filed.

The results from the study show that 60 percent of the complainants are more likely to resign from the job after the lawsuit compared to only 10 percent of the alleged sexual harassment violators. 

The reason for this may be because in some workplaces, the negative feedback that comes after a sexual harassment lawsuit, tends to fall upon the person who files the complaint. This is why some formal complaints are never filed or why so much thought is put into filing them.

Sexual harassment in the workplace is not only a personal matter that may be difficult to discuss, but it is also illegal. If you or a loved one has been the victim of sexual harasment, contact the Houston sexual harassment lawyers of the Ross Law Group by calling 713-482-6910 today.
