I was watching the news about Harvey W on the BBC and a spokeswoman from EDS was being interviewed. One of the point she made was ‘men need to be on board’. Here’s a simple incident which I caught.

A few years ago I was running a pub/restaurant, most of the wait staff were between 16 & 18, so our work involved a lot of training. They were all good kids!!

One day I caught one of the guys playfully digging one of the girls from behind in the ribs as she was at the computer entering her order. I called him out & it went like this ……..

Me: You cannot do that in the workplace.

Emplyee: But I didn’t touch her arse!

Me: You cannot touch a work colleague in the work place that is sexual harassment & you don’t need to touch her arse. You are NOT allowed to touch her anywhere, anytime OK!

He was a good kid who didn’t know any better, I hope I made a difference. I hope he learned from that. Btw he continued working there and developed/grew into a great young man.
