REAL Opinions from Students of the Course of Managing Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

Frequently asked questions about Managing Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

Is it mandatory for all companies to have a sexual harassment protocol?

Yes, the Organic Law on Equality requires all companies, regardless of their size, to promote working conditions that prevent sexual harassment and harassment on the grounds of sex.

This means putting in place specific procedures [protocols] for its prevention and to address complaints or claims that may be made by those who have been subjected to it.

Who should make up the Investigative Committee in an investigation?

The Investigating Committee must be composed of impartial individuals, trained in equality and without a direct hierarchical or friendship relationship with the parties involved.

It typically includes Human Resources managers, legal representatives of the workers, and, at times, external advisors who are experts in gender and labor law to ensure the objectivity of the final report.

What is the validity of digital evidence from WhatsApp and email in an investigation?

Digital evidence is fundamental in these processes, but it must be obtained lawfully, without violating the right to privacy.

In the course you will learn how to safeguard these pieces of evidence [screenshots, corporate emails] so they maintain their chain of custody and are admissible both in the internal disciplinary file and in a possible subsequent trial.

What are precautionary measures during the investigation?

They are immediate decisions that the company makes upon receiving the complaint to protect the alleged victim while the investigation is ongoing.

They may include the physical separation of workstations, shift changes, or remote work for one of the parties, always ensuring that these measures do not constitute a preemptive sanction or cause harm to the victim.

How is the confidentiality of the process protected?

Confidentiality is strict and mandatory for all participants [commission, witnesses, and parties]. The protocol must establish a numeric code for the case file and limit access to the information.

Breaking the duty of confidentiality may entail severe sanctions, as it affects the right to honor and the privacy of the people involved.
