Sexual harassment at work is at the top of the agenda for organizations right now, with allegations from across the public, private, and charitable sectors hitting the headlines on an almost daily basis.<\/p>\n
These high-profile cases are, however, only the tip of the iceberg. Many employees have been the victims of inappropriate behavior for years, but have never felt able to speak up about it.
