(Mandel Ngan/AFP/Getty Images)A federal workplace investigation found rampant sexual harassment and retaliation at AccuWeather, a federal contractor, including groping, touching and kissing of subordinates without consent. It determined that AccuWeather, under Myers, fostered a culture ripe for sexual harassment, turned a blind eye to allegations of egregious conduct and retaliated against those who complained. “Over two dozen witnesses spanning many different departments and in positions ranging from administrative support to senior management described unlawful sexual harassment that occurred at the company,” the report says. The report indicates AccuWeather cited its internal complaint process and harassment-avoidance policy, which all staff is required to follow. The company promised to institute a number of changes — including mandatory in-person training for managers on identifying and preventing harassment.
