Legal Insights on Harassment Response
Understanding Employee Concerns Before They Escalate
In this short video, Attorney Bhavleen Sabharwal shares general observations on how unaddressed employee concerns—especially around workplace safety, discrimination, and emotional wellbeing—can contribute to internal dissatisfaction and external legal action.
While the video does not provide legal advice, it highlights an important dynamic: when employees feel unheard, complaints may escalate beyond internal resolution. Creating a culture where concerns are acknowledged early can reduce the risk of legal exposure and strengthen workplace morale.
If you’re unsure how to align your policies or response protocols with current expectations, legal review may help.
