Activists there formed a group called Working Women United to build awareness; but legal and policy protections lagged behind. Even after sexual harassment became illegal in the 1980s, it was difficult to define; and harassment training seemed to leave confusion in its wake.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe prospects of being labeled a problem employee or even hustled out the door with a severance package, a gag order and a derailed career have long kept many people from coming forward,\u201d says a piece in the Times Union. That\u2019s why many victims either suffered in silence or quit their jobs.<\/p>\n<p>With the advent of #MeToo, women are less likely to feel vulnerable, \u201cbranded\u201d with shame, or fearful of retribution. They feel empowered to speak up against unwanted sexual advances, even from men long considered invincible, knowing they have a network of support in their colleagues and in the culture.<\/p>\n<p>Some prominent women \u2013 like Sheryl Sandberg \u2013 warn of a #MeToo backlash that will create equally difficult scenarios: \u201crumblings of \u2018This is why you shouldn\u2019t hire women.\u2019\u201d She says male managers may fear or avoid being alone with, promoting, mentoring, or even hiring female colleagues\u2014which undermines the equitable workplace that #MeToo has struggled to advance.<\/p>\n<p>She writes: \u201cDoing right by women in the workplace does not just mean treating them with respect. It also means not isolating or ignoring them \u2014 and making access equal. Whether that means you take all your direct reports out to dinner or none of them, the key is to give men and women equal opportunities to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In our view, a climate fostering equity, parity and a balance of power is a safeguard and an asset &#8212; benefitting all workers and their business. Productive employees who feel secure, engaged and respected at work align with our core values of honesty, transparency, and remaining proactive instead of reactive.
