Hi,
In my organization, we have a female trainee who has come to do a project. While she was collecting data, a male employee knocked her on the head for no reason. The girl cried out of pain. Should we report it to our manager? What should we do now? The girl never speaks to that guy anymore. He is so rude; he beats all the girls in the organization. However, that guy has 2 years of experience in the organization. Will the manager take any action? Please help.

Dear Shalini,
It seems as if you are working in a company located in a place where there is no law and order or democracy. Otherwise, why would all the females in the organization endure mistreatment from this so-called male employee of the organization? Kindly try to address realistic issues. If this issue is indeed true, then please do file a complaint with the local police station for criminal intimidation and assault.
Thank you,

No problem with that girl officially doing the project. Make sure that guy won't engage in further illegal activities. Once you complain to the manager, the guy may get angry, which could lead to other illegal actions. Be safe from our side; if needed, you can file a case against that guy. First, take care of the girl.

Still, the person continues to be in the organization.
The HR person knows that he mistreats all girls and has made this a habit, but has not taken any action. What ineffectiveness!
The HR person is only concerned that he has 2 years of experience, which is of no use and holds no importance in this situation.
Please think.

I'm really amazed and at a loss for words at the incident! It's really hard to believe as to how and WHY such violent activities are being tolerated by the company, and if it has really happened! Nonetheless, in spite of knowing the facts, why is he still with the company? He is not only dangerous to others but to himself as well. All experience and qualifications go in vain if one is unable to work as per standards, and being abusive or violent is a strict "No-No"! What brand image is this kind of employee going to reflect in the market, and what kind of culture prevails in the company that even after such incidents, no one has raised an alarm or issued a warning to him? If such incidents have occurred in the past too without any action, then I wonder what the top management is doing to prevent it. Please take stern action immediately, involve the management, and take proper action before it's too late.

Shallini,
I guess that fellow is suffering from some mental disorder or may be a psycho. Why would anyone beat anybody without any reason? Really disgusting. As an HR person, give him a strict warning letter that may lead to termination as well.
You have mentioned that he is an experienced person, so please try to find out his behavior from the day he joined your company. If he is beating others every now and then, then seriously, he needs medical treatment after termination from your organization.
And don't worry about terminating an experienced person; nowadays, many experienced individuals are waiting for jobs. You can replace him very soon.

Go ahead and complain. You should have done this well before asking us. Remember one thing, Shalini, wherever you work, you have to hold self-respect for yourself. No matter what position he may hold, take your concerns to your superiors without any delay. Let us also know what has been done.

This matter is really serious. First of all, encourage all the affected employees to submit a written complaint against the man. The complaint should be very specific, with details of the incident. The complaint should also include his overall behavior pattern, but note that this shouldn't overshadow the incident. This letter should be addressed to the Senior HR manager or the Head of HR, with a CC to CEO / Head of the Branch, etc.
In the same letter, you should mention that if suitable action is not taken against the person within 45 to 60 days, then I would file a complaint with the "Women Commission."
Ideally, after receiving such a complaint or complaints, the management should issue a show-cause notice to the employee.
Such matters take a long time to resolve, and the person or group complaining should stay together, have meetings regularly on the issue, and motivate each other.

Shalini,
You say that the Manager does not like the girl... so no point of her informing him, right? You have also mentioned that this guy knocks other girls too on their head. What about their complaints?
Anyhow - had I been in this girl's place (forget whether I am an HR or not), irrespective of my role, I would clearly ask the guy, "What is he thinking?" I would ask him to explain his behavior, apologize, and ensure that he NEVER EVER even raises his eyebrows harshly at me, or hear that from another girl in the company that he did something like that. Unless that woman is his wife...
Physical injury need not wait for information and advice from a Manager. That "SHOULD" be informed, but until some action is taken by the management, the girl can herself ask that guy not to ever behave like that.
Moreover - who cares whether he has 2 years of experience or not, your recruiter (or you - if you are the HR) should have better talent to identify people with more than 2 years of experience in that job, and with the added advantage of not being crazy to go around hitting women?
Hey - he hits only female employees? "Sexual Harassment"!!!
I should have been there to handle this guy.

Hi all,
I really can't believe such an incident. But if it's true, that girl must complain. I agree with Ash; we should not lose our self-dignity. How can we tolerate such beating, which can lead to serious head injuries?
Hey Shalini, don't you have any policy on ethics and behavior in the workplace? I would request you to go through the popular Vishakha guidelines laid down by the Supreme Court, which should be followed by every organization or institute where females are working. It simply comes under harassment acts. Go ahead and take action; your silence is encouragement for him to continue such acts.

Punish such a guy so that he won't repeat such behavior. If he has a considerable history of such behavior, he should be terminated. No company should take such matters lightly, and employees should show awareness of their rights so that the company would be compelled to take action.
Employees should not tolerate such behavior; otherwise, company culture would be spoiled.

Dear Shallini,
I am sure you have enough information on the course of action by experts above.
Sometimes, I really wonder why our colleagues do not speak out against these criminal activities/miscreants just out of fear of something they have created within their institution. Keeping quiet is a way of informing the miscreant that you are enabling their behavior. What you have mentioned is termed as sexual harassment. The miscreant should be punished now and immediately.
Ask the girl to just go and "SLAP" that stupid staff in front of everyone (Sorry for being rude, but couldn't stop), so that her self-pride remains intact and she is not embarrassed for the rest of her life. Make sure there are enough supporters available when she encounters this monster in your office.
My advice to the Trainee: "Complain about the miscreant to the manager immediately in writing and verbally. If he does not take action within 2 days, file a complaint at the nearest police station under the section "Sexual Harassment." This will result in both of them being behind bars and disciplinary action being initiated by the state bodies.
Take action immediately and share the outcome. If there are any problems, let me know your location, and we will provide support for you.
All the best.

Ukmitra
Just for your information:
According to the Supreme Court's definition, sexual harassment is any unwelcome sexually determined behavior, such as:
- Physical contact
- A demand or request for sexual favors
- Sexually colored remarks
- Showing pornography
- Any other physical, verbal, or non-verbal conduct of a sexual nature.
Sexual Harassment takes place if a person:
- Subjects another person to an unwelcome act of physical intimacy, like grabbing, brushing, touching, pinching, etc.
- Makes an unwelcome demand or request (whether directly or by implication) for sexual favors from another person and further makes it a condition for employment/payment of wages/increment/promotion, etc.
- Makes an unwelcome remark with sexual connotations, like sexually explicit compliments, cracking loud jokes with sexual connotations, making sexist remarks, etc.
- Shows a person any sexually explicit visual material, in the form of pictures, cartoons, pin-ups, calendars, screen savers on computers, any offensive written material, pornographic emails, etc.
- Engages in any other unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature, which could be verbal or even non-verbal, like staring to make the other person uncomfortable, making offensive gestures, kissing sounds, etc.

As you mentioned, he has beaten many female employees, and still, management is not taking action. I can see a clear picture - management is very weak or least interested in addressing this kind of incident, displaying unprofessional behavior. It seems that the employee in question is strong and behaves like a thug, making others afraid to speak up against him.
As this is a crime, the victim must report the incident to management in writing or through email. If management does not take any action within 24 hours, the victim should report the incident to the police. Victims who choose to report to the police must acknowledge their own status as victims and create narratives that will persuade others. Shalini, you can act as a witness in this case.
I truly hope to see him in jail. Why is this action necessary? Because if appropriate measures are not taken, he will continue to harm others.

Dear Shallini,
Well, please go and tell the incident to your senior manager as soon as possible and also convince him to make a police report. I do not understand how a mature guy (at least by age!!!) can do such a disgusting thing. It should have definitely been brought to the notice of the management the first day the incident happened. How could you just let that slip by?
In fact, I also wonder why the girls who were beaten up by him did not complain. Having two years of experience in the organization does not make him great or above all. Nonetheless, it highlights his irresponsibility, regardless of his position. Beating up anyone, let alone a female, is a crime, and people need to be punished for that. You cannot just let things go; that will only make them stronger and more likely to repeat it. Such people should be fired and made to attend court.
So, please go and inform the management. Also, if the management does not prioritize justice and the security of its employees, just leave that organization. It is not worth spending your time there when they themselves are least bothered.

Hi,
Friend, see, this is really a shameful act done by any employee, be it a male or a female employee. It's the right of the person to have his space of dignity. If not taken seriously till now, at least it's better late than never. It's your responsibility to report it to your higher officials and get a show-cause notice issued to him. Let him have 2nd number of years of experience. If it had to happen in my organization and the act was done by the VP, I would get him issued a show-cause notice through the correct means. Probably he is taking HR of your company for granted, and it's a mistake on your HR part as well. Why didn't you address this act at the first notice? It's your fault as well.
Well, issue him a show-cause notice and let him give clarity as to why he performed this act. Also, issue a final warning letter followed by it.

Friend, see, this is really a shameful act done by any employee, be it a male or a female employee. It's the right of the person to have his space of dignity. If not taken seriously till now, at least it's better late than never. It's your responsibility to report it to your higher officials and get a show-cause notice issued to him.

This is very unfair to the girls. That fellow doesn't know the power of girls. First, try to solve it within the company by seeking the help of the manager. If that doesn't work, then you can file a case against that fellow. You girls should be the ones to make him understand what happens when a fellow teases or abuses any girl. It is in your hands now; show everyone what a girl is capable of.

I think it can be called a hostile work environment. Working environments are subject to individual definitions. For example, sexual joking, touching, and patting may be considered unwelcome sexual attention to some but not to others. The courts must obviously be very careful in rendering decisions concerning the definition of hostile environment harassment behaviors, as the danger exists that frivolous complaints will be encouraged, further straining an already overcrowded court system. Thus, the question of a reasonable definition of what constitutes a hostile work environment is an important one.
Why a Standard of Reasonableness is Necessary:
At last, I would say: "Women must not accept; she must challenge. She must not be awed by that which has been built up around her; she must reverence that woman in her which struggles for expression."

Hello Shalini,
Beating up anyone, with or without any reason, is not acceptable. You have also informed us that he has been doing so to all the females in the organization. I would rather say that please bring this issue to the attention of the higher authorities regarding the wrong activities carried out by the employee. Whether the employee has 2 years or 10 years of experience, it's a crime. No one has the right to touch another person. If you ignore this now, there will be many more such activities coming up that you could never anticipate. Please take action now before it's too late.

Hi. Is there any occasion when a female beats a male employee? Let the female employees confront the rogue behavior and teach the individual a lesson. Alternatively, if that is not feasible, consider arranging a forced marriage between him and a woman (any woman). This approach may contribute to his improvement, transforming him from a beast to a more reasonable individual, like a rat.

Hello,
Advise the female employee to raise an issue by filing a complaint with the head of the HR department, stating that she is considering lodging a legal complaint at the nearby police station. However, before taking that step, she would like to have a discussion with the management.
This approach will ensure that a resolution is reached, as no management team wants to jeopardize their goodwill or reputation. Additionally, it will help establish a sense of discipline among the employees in the organization.
Remember, every issue has a solution. :-)

It is pathetic and unacceptable how your company tolerates such a worst thing happened. Why haven't you complained to your manager and the police to take action against the ruthless person? Why has nobody raised their voice against this person? He may have many years of experience, but it doesn't mean he has the right to hit anyone. Please take action immediately.

Dear Shalini,
I think all the female employees facing this problem should come together and give a written complaint to the HR/Personnel Department. They should also file an FIR against that employee at the nearby police station. No one has the right to hurt anybody in the organization, physically or mentally, and tolerating such actions is the biggest offense. So go ahead and take action.

Hi Shalini,
It's good that action has been taken on him, but still, ensure that the action should be such that all the employees should get the message that no one will be spared for doing any such activities. And one more thing, we ourselves give an opportunity to bully us. Always be firm and strong and don't let anybody trouble you on the basis of gender, caste, experience, or post.

Hi,
I totally disagree with your point; this is not the solution for such a problem. By marrying forcibly with any girl, we are putting the girl in jeopardy. We should first learn to accept and respect ourselves for what we are and fight by ourselves for any injustice being done to us.

Sex discrimination at work refers to the mistreatment or bias faced by individuals based on their gender. When such acts are committed by an employee, the employer may be held liable for their actions as well.
Sexual harassment and discrimination create a hostile and illegal environment within an organization. If such behavior is reported to the employer and no prompt action is taken, the employer can be held accountable under the law.
Discrimination can be direct or indirect, where individuals are treated negatively based on their gender. Direct discrimination involves disrespectful treatment solely due to gender, while indirect discrimination occurs when certain genders are disadvantaged in terms of rules and facilities compared to others.
Exceptions exist, such as single-sex facilities like nursing homes. Discrimination based on pregnancy or maternity leave is illegal and should be reported.
Harassment involves creating a demeaning work atmosphere based on gender, while victimization occurs when someone reporting such behavior faces retaliation. Employers must justify their actions in addressing gender bias and mistreatment to prevent recurrences.
Sexual harassment, including unsolicited propositions, vulgar comments, and lewd behavior, is a violation of dignity. Employers are responsible for preventing such behavior and employees can take action by reporting incidents and seeking support from colleagues, unions, or legal authorities.
Employees should unite against harassment, report incidents to management, and escalate to labor authorities if necessary under the Sexual Discrimination Act.

Hello Everybody,
What I could suggest is when somebody is asking for a solution, please help him/her by giving a suggestion on overcoming such issues rather than commenting on what happened. This would help the person to have a discussed idea of what should be done. Again, people who give a suggestion have to think about how that would help the girl in a safer being. Any actions taken against the boy shouldn't bring down personal vengeance against the girl. Please do take it forward with all consideration in mind. I am really sorry if this statement of mine would have hurt anyone personally... :)

Dear Shalili,
You are also a "GIRL" Think. If same would have happen with you! How you would have reacted and taken action???
I completely agree with "octavious" that your company which is located at place, where there is no Law and order or democracy."
Do take serious action against him.
Experience doesn’t matter shalini. What matters is Attitude, skill and then knowledge of an individual.
Complain your Manager and make sure illegal actions are taken against him and at the same time protect the girl too.

Hi Shalini,
This comes under direct discrimination, and action should be taken immediately. Kindly take this issue to the management and convey to them in terms of discrimination. Even though how many years he or she has, it doesn't matter. The basic thing for any employee is behavior, and after this experience, talent will come into the picture. My opinion is that he should be strongly punished.

Dear Shallini,
Not exactly the same, but a little bit similar case happened to my friend. My friend is a fresher, and it's her first job. In the organization where she is working, her superior, who is an HR Manager, drank once during lunchtime. After coming back, he was speaking rubbish and singing songs at my friend. The next day, his superior was absent, so she made a complaint to the GM. The GM is a very nice person, but he couldn't support her; he just said he would talk with the HR Manager about that matter. The problem the GM is facing here is that the HR Manager is very knowledgeable and experienced, so replacing that person would not be beneficial for the company.

Dear Sonu,
What, the HR Manager himself had drunk and came to the office?? Definitely, your company has to be an excellent place to work. That's why I asked you in my reply, was it a male employee or the manager himself. When the HR manager is unable to be a role model, there are no words to comment on his conduct. What to do with his knowledge and experience? That GM who couldn't voice out would have bought him (HR manager) a drink. So, an inseparable boozing pair, GM and Manager-HR.
God, save the employees.

I think first of all, you should know what your service agreement/condition of service says about fighting or beating someone up. In my organization, we have a set of rules and actions that will be taken if any events such as this situation come up. First, give him a letter of warning if the matter is reported officially by the victim. Even if the victim does not report the case, you could still go ahead to initiate action as a deterrent to others that the workplace is no place for beating up people. In other words, a strong letter of warning after all necessary inquiries are made.
