Sex and gender based discrimination is no joke. Every year we hear of the devastating economic and reputation impacts on organizations who have either failed to create or maintain a harassment free environment. The year 2011 was no different; there were countless large dollar judgments against industry, educational institutions and non-profit organizations for sexual harassment or abuse. One such example was the $95 Million judgment against Aaron Rental Co. This kind of judgment would cause most businesses to close their doors. However, it is not just the financial cost of turning a blind eye to sexual harassment; it is also the damage to the organizations reputation and image that can be fatal.
