How
affects you, too
The #MeToo movement started
last fall with claims of sexual ha-
rassment and rape against movie
producer Harvey Weinstein. Before long, dark shadows were cast
over other powerful men — from entertainment personalities Matt
Lauer, Kevin Spacey, Russell Simmons and James Franco to politi-
cians Al Franken and Roy Moore.
Although any accusation typically gets more publicity when a
celebrity is involved, sexual misconduct occurs in all walks of life.
What will you do — and should you do — as a veterinary practice
owner or manager if an employee lodges harassment claims? What if
the employee joins the #MeToo movement and goes onto
social media to name names at your hospital?
Sexual harassment in the workplace must
be dealt with promptly, fairly and firmly.
