Dear Boss...

■ Do you overlook inappropriate, sexual and lustful comments from males in management and the workplace towards female staff members?

■ Are you perpetuating the stereotyping of women by being party to demeaning and derogatory jokes concerning female members of staff?

■ Do you fail to protect a female staff member when colleagues speak about her in a demeaning, unprofessional way in her absence, especially based on her gender, appearance or how she dresses?

■ Are women under-represented in your management structure, and do you have less regard for their views and contributions than those of male colleagues?

■ Have you disregarded or made false excuses not to participate in pay parity initiatives for female colleagues when such opportunities arose?

■ Do you play down instances where a female staff member reports sexual harassment, or received reports of sexual harrassment from other managers because the female staff reporting to you are unwilling to discuss such complaints with you?

■ Have you looked away when junior female staffers are coerced into running errands such as making tea and other non-professional chores by their seniors?

■ Have you fallen short in making sure that all members of staff are in possession of the company’s sexual harassment policy and procedures?

■ Have you ever turned your back on an opportunity to support female colleagues in their efforts to end sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace, or failed to ensure that pregnant female colleagues get treated with the respect and dignity that they deserve?

■ Do you still not have any defined resources or an environment in which women feel safe and secure to deal with sexual harassment cases in your workplace?
