About the case study……

According to us, it is a case of Sexual Harassment happened outside the

organization. Hence, cannot do much in this case as it do not comes in the authority of

organization. This same situation can happen with anyone at

anywhere at any point of time so one must try to solve it personally by using own

intelligence.

Questions……

Q.1) How would you have handled the situation in which Sally finds herself?

Q.2) Would such a situation have occurred if Sally had

been a male?

Q.3) Should Sally report this incident to her line manager, Bill Burton?

Q.4) Should the Australian subsidiary’s HR department be made aware of this incident?
