What is appropriate–and inappropriate–conduct in the workplace?

from Vermont Edition · host Vermont Public

An unprompted hug. A shoulder massage that was never requested. A compliment or comment that crosses a boundary. What some consider acceptable workplace behavior may actually be problematic. Today on Vermont Edition, it's a conversation about appropriate–and inappropriate–conduct in the workplace. We’ll hear from the executive director of the Vermont Commission on Women on the laws supporting employees from harassment. An employment attorney will share the importance of setting expectations around workplace culture and bridging the gap between generations. We’ll also hear from two local educators who work with young people on consent, empowerment and concepts around healthy masculinity.
