Firms passive in preventing sexual harassment: pollBy Yang Yuan-ting and Jake Chung / Staff reporter, with staff writerAbout 46 percent of people feel that company attitudes toward preventing sexual harassment are passive, while 60 percent say that training exercises are not effective, a Modern Women’s Foundation poll released yesterday found. The foundation released the results two years after the passage of amendments that aimed to address sexual harassment, including incidents in the workplace. About 96 percent of the respondents said that companies should focus on preventing sexual harassment, foundation employee Huang Chuan-hsin (黃傳馨) said. The poll showed that while more than 70 percent said they knew of channels to report sexual harassment, trainings only lasted 20 minutes, or multiple issues were covered in one session. One-quarter of respondents who had experienced sexual harassment said company reactions were passive, Huang said, adding that only 40 percent reported the incidents.
