Interpretation
An increase in the proportion of workplaces with strategies or policies in place targeting sexual harassment will indicate a greater commitment from employers to respond to sexual harassment when it occurs. Note, presence of a strategy or policy alone is not evidence of the implementation of best-practice responses targeting sexual harassment.
In addition, the proportion of workplaces with strategies or policies in place at baseline is high and is not expected to continue increasing over time. The purpose of this measure is to provide context, and to monitor and ensure this commitment from employers does not fall over time.
