"Canadian executives say sexual harassment isn't an issue at their companies: report", 18 Dec 2017

A large majority of Canadian executives don't believe sexual harassment is a problem at their company – despite nearly a third of them admitting they know of specific cases.

The .. C-Suite Survey ..with 153 Canadian executives, 95 per cent of whom were male. When asked if sexual harassment was a problem in their business, 94 per cent of those surveyed chose to disagree.

Two ...recent surveys... an Insights West study of 451 working Canadian women in November found that half had experienced sexual harassment in their careers, while 56 per cent in an October Abacus Data Inc. survey of 1,500 Canadians said that women are sexually harassed in their workplace.

...The results show a profound disconnect between executives' beliefs about the problem and employees' reality.

...Despite the prevalence of sexual harassment, the majority of corporate leaders believe their organizations have both policies in place to respond to sexual harassment and cultures that help prevent it.
