Question:

Gamestat owns a website that compiles sports statistics from other websites and provides them to subscribers in a single integrated platform. Users of Gamestat can quickly find up-to-date information about many different sports—tennis, football, horse racing, soccer, basketball, golf, even curling and polo. The site has become popular with sports enthusiasts and gamblers. Gamestat has adopted and widely circulates a state-of-the-art sexual harassment policy; it requires all new hires to sign a statement that they have read and accept the policy. All supervisors are also required to undergo a halfday training in sexual harassment avoidance once every three years. Most of Gamestat’s 275 employees are former “jocks” and the company’s culture is a bit boisterous—practical jokes and teasing are a normal part of the work day, even for senior managers. The sexual harassment training is conducted in the afternoon by the company’s in-house human resources department; it includes a boring lecture on legal requirements and a poorly acted video displaying types of behavior that are prohibited. Gamestat supervisors, most of whom have attended multiple training sessions, have developed the tradition of a pre-training lunch well lubricated by martinis, followed by humorous banter during the training video. In one scene, where an actor playing a supervisor is about to place his hand on a female employee’s buttocks, attendees yell out, “no, no, don’t do it!”—and “oh no, you blew it!” when he does. If asked, the participants would say they get the message and that the joking attitude is just part of the company’s culture. Does Gamestat have an effective anti-sexual harassment program?
