text: how can harassment be prevented at work?   the best thing is to give a training video for all new hires, and have a written policy on the companies view on harassment, what constitutes harassment, and what the consequences are.  most people will behave themselves if they know the organization takes it seriously.  have each person sign a sheet that they have received the training, so if anything happens, you can show that your organization did not create a workplace permissive of this behavior.
