Managing complex harassment cases

Because if there is a situation of moral or sexual harassment, Your company is taking a big risk..

Indeed, it is important to emphasize that as soon as instances of workplace harassment are reported within the company, the employer has theobligation to trigger a investigation and protect the employee(s).

Beyond the law, the employer will find it in their interest todeploy all in order to solve this type of situation as soon as possible:

It is your company that is there will win the most in the end.

Demonstrating impartiality to inspire trust and respect

The Labor Code obliges the employer not only to protect the employees concerned but also provides for the possibility of implementing a procedure for mediation which is totally specific and out of the ordinary.

Article L 33 659 430827 of the French Labour Code provides for this purpose:

"A procedure of mediation can be implemented by any person in the company who considers themselves a victim of psychological harassment or by the person accused.

THE choice the mediator is subject to agreement between the parties.

The mediator inquires about the state of relations between the parties. He tries to them reconcile and submit to them proposals that he records in writing with a view to end to harassment.

When conciliation fails, the mediator informed the parties to the possible sanctions incurred and guarantees procedural measures provided for the benefit of the victim."

This type of mediation is therefore very particular because it falls outside the scope of traditional mediators' expertise. More specifically, it contradicts their code of ethics on several points, as we explain in our seminars and services.

That is why we have put in place this type of mediation in order to respond to these complex situations and provide the necessary solutions, which in turn prevent colossal losses for the company.

Furthermore, this mediation procedure is one of the tools of conflict management and psychosocial risk management.
