Question 3

Is It Proactive or Reactive?

You’ve been ignoring sexually explicit language from another supervisor, because they are held in high regard by management and so far no one has complained. But, you have no problem with addressing and reporting the conduct, if someone happens to complain to you about it.

Choose the correct answer below.

The correct answer is Reactive.

Regardless of the person’s position, disposition, or how they are regarded by others, using sexually explicit language is inappropriate, unlawful, and violates policy. Also, keep in mind that other employees may be offended by the language yet are reluctant to report it in fear of being retaliated against. If you have any issue with addressing inappropriate conduct such as this, please contact the Human Resources department for guidance.
