AMY GALLO: Given the statistic from the research we discussed earlier that so few women believe these issues are going to be addressed appropriately, how as like a single HR manager do you encourage confidence in people who you do want to come report to you if something happens? I mean, trust is about time and consistency.
And the degree to which you can be transparent about it on a consistent basis. You hear something about a guy in the office. Do you pass along the whisper? What do you do? So, I would approach that differently. And I recognize that that is a privilege for me to feel that way.
And if you care about them, then you might want to talk to them about it. What does he say? And the person might get mad at you. And so, I think just going back to the slowness of change to happen; oftentimes I think the same thing will happen, well what could they possibly say? I care about you. And what I try to tell myself in those moments is that the landmine was already there.
And a choice that absolutely makes sense given everything that we know about, not just the retaliation, the formal retaliation, but social retaliation or just if you are somebody who maybe experienced sexual abuse or sexual assault and are emotionally retriggered by an unsafe work environment, that you do what you have to do to take care of yourself.
And whatever choice you make is right. So, my focus tends to always just to be to go back to the prevention. How can you make progress despite that hesitancy from people around you? So, I tend to think about most sexual harassment training as an internal communication strategy. So, if you put yourself in charge of your sexual harassment prevention and response, internal communication strategy, then I would be thinking about my peers, be thinking about helping them understand the risks, the risks to productivity.
We have serious reputational risks. At any point somebody could pick up the phone and complain about the organization in a very public way. And that would be much more expensive than investing in a little more training on this topic.
And to practice some of these scenarios and to talk through the different issues around, both prevention and response at a team level. AMY GALLO: We published an article from Kathleen Reardon that had a spectrum of sexual misconduct and I felt like that was, you could just even print out that article and have a conversation with two or three other people.
Where do you think these things fall? What would we do? What does our organization, I mean, I can see the sort of simple conversation starters, but you, at the same time want to make a big impact. So, I appreciate you saying sort of start small. The number of people — I do surveys going into organizations — the number of people that said they never shared anything on the topic of sexual harassment or violence on social media, just share an article on LinkedIn.
I wanted to talk to you about that meeting today. Just see what happens there. Do I say something afterward? And my sense from what Sarah was saying is sometimes you just do something, and it may not be the right thing, and you may look back on it five years later and go, wow, I would have handled that differently, or the conversation may blow up. But I think the problem is the decision becomes paralyzing. It was a big party, and I remember seeing these two people intensely involved in this conversation.
Does she not — and then there was sort of like a lot of whispering going on around it. And none of us ever did anything. What was going on? And I think that just reinforces the silence of victims, or the, and even the silence of bystanders, is that, this is messy.
And we still need to talk about it. What just happened here? Have you ever had an experience? And I was like, no. And then I then listed five things that had happened. The boss who asked me out. I mean, I had a client when I was a consultant who I loved.
He was, of all the people I interacted with, he was funny, he was, he was just, I always loved being in meetings with him. And there was a time he showed me a really inappropriate image on his computer. Like, it was much easier for me to ignore it than to do something about it.
And I think women make that calculation all the time. And a big thing that factors is its like, you might not even be thinking of this is sexual harassment, or this is inappropriate in that way, but it could just be embarrassing.
Like, someone put their foot in their mouth and said a really weird thing. Why parallel when I could just park? Why does Vector think that he's smart? And does his dad know that I know his part? Why did I have to live with my mom? Why do you think that I should be calm? Why I want the moon, the world in my palm? Is it crazy you think I've gone?
They're holding him captive. He's their prisoner. They own him. Which he probably isn't Also check Stump's cards just in case he's using those. Check the hospitals. I want roadblocks and face checks and cavity searches at every bus stop, train station, and airport if we can get them.
If he's still alive , I want him. Sometimes they may seem interchangeable but using one never means exactly the same as using the other, just like "This is it" doesn't exactly mean the same as "That's it" and 'We shall overcome" doesn't mean exactly the same as "We will overcone".
