    Yes our company has anti- harassment policy in place. Management take a training yearly and workers take it the training every two years. We stay current with the new laws, we have team building training.

    No one should ever feel harassed whether on the jobsite on in the office. Companies need to have strong policy's in place to prevent this from happening.

    Policies like this need to be modeled from the top down. If leadership can't set the example, the rest of the employees won't follow the policy.

    Harassment should never be tolerated at any workspace. It is critical for training to start from the top down.

    Harassment should not occur at any workplace. It's essential for companies to establish programs to prevent it.

    Job site harrasment is not something that should ever happen, but it does. Implementing these programs is so important

    This happens on a daily basis. We have a zero tolerance policy for it, which seems to help.

    No one should ever feel harassed at work. I think having this topic as an open and ongoing discussion will help woman feel like they can use their voice and be heard if they found themselves in this circumstance.
