Overview/Description
You're the general manager of a corporately owned branch of Pennywise Rental Car, one of the largest car rental companies in the world. The company has provided you with workplace harassment training for managers.
All of the employees at this particular Pennywise location report to you. When one of the rental agents, Violet Pham, comes to you to complain that her shift supervisor, Cliff Kinsler, has been harassing her, you will need to take action to deal with the situation. This will entail interviewing Violet to take her complaint, as well as dealing effectively with the ramifications of what she tells you.
This simulation is based on the SkillSoft course "Harassment in the Workplace" (lch_01_a03_lc_enus).
Note that the intent of this simulation is to illustrate ways of responding to harassing behavior in the workplace. The types of responses the simulation presents are not intended to apply to all situations. Other responses may be as appropriate or effective, or more so, in particular situations. Individual employees will need to decide, on the basis of their own specific circumstances, how best to respond. Employees who are uncertain how to proceed in a particular situation should consider seeking help from a company human resources representative, an ombudsperson, an employee assistance program counselor, a friend, or another resource.
