Discussion
One of your colleagues thinks that she is being harassed by the boss. What will you do?
Answer: B
The keyed response is to try to understand the situation, apprise her of your opinion and suggest she decide to approach the appropriate authority immediately.
Harassment at the workplace has a formal remedy, the Internal Complaints Committee under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2013. A supportive colleague listens, gives an honest view and encourages her to use that remedy promptly, while leaving the decision to her.
Making the complaint depend on whether you personally agree second-guesses her experience. Asking her to bear it for fear of a bad name discourages a legitimate complaint. Telling others spreads gossip and breaches her privacy.
