A Burlington House representative recently resigned following an internal sexual harassment probe. While the story brought workplace sexual harassment into local headlines, the subject is by no means new.
Today's show is a conversation on appropriate and inappropriate behavior in the workplace. Kris Brines, an employment attorney with Paul Frank + Collins, shared the importance of setting expectations around workplace culture and bridging the gap between generations. Cary Brown, executive director of the Vermont Commission on Women, pointed listeners to the Workplace For All site for additional information on statewide laws regarding discrimination and harassment.
We also heard from two local educators who work with young people on consent, empowerment and concepts around healthy masculinity: Chelsea Corrow, a social change program coordinator for the advocacy organization Umbrella in the Northeast Kingdom, and Steve Sheeler, middle school social studies teacher and varsity football coach at U-32 Middle & High School in East Montpelier.
Paul Frank + Collins is a Vermont Public fiscal sponsor.
