Display the anti-harassment notice at your workplace
SAK has published guidelines for combating sexual harassment at work in Finnish, Swedish and English. The notice provides advice for victims, workmates and abusers.
"Everyone is entitled to feel safe at work, and to object to disagreeable touching, gestures or e-mails," stresses SAK Working conditions specialist Anne Mironen.
"An employer must always intervene in cases of harassment, and other employees must also be committed to enforcing a policy of zero tolerance concerning harassment at work."
