What action should employees take upon witnessing harassment at HFHS?

When employees witness harassment at HFHS, the appropriate action to take is to report the incident to Human Resources (HR) or a supervisor immediately. This response is crucial because harassment can create a hostile work environment, and it is essential that management is made aware so they can address it effectively and ensure the safety and well-being of all employees.

Reporting to HR or a supervisor allows the organization to take the necessary steps to investigate the situation and implement actions to prevent further incidents. It also reinforces the idea that harassment is taken seriously within the organization, promoting a culture of respect and safety.

The other potential actions, such as ignoring the incident, discussing it with coworkers, or handling it personally, do not contribute to resolving the issue and may perpetuate a harmful environment. Ignoring harassment can allow it to continue unchecked, while discussing it informally with coworkers could lead to further misunderstandings and does not ensure the situation is properly addressed. Handling it personally may escalate the situation and put the individual in a vulnerable position, rather than involving trained professionals who can manage the issue appropriately.
