We have zero tolerance sexual harassment policy: Facebook

San Francisco, December 9 : Facebook follows a zero tolerance policy on sexual harassment to keep the workplace safe, the social network’s Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg has announced.
“We have a zero tolerance policy, and that means that when we are able to determine that harassment has occurred, those responsible are fired,” Sandberg said while making the company’s policy on sexual harassment public.
Facebook said it decided to publish the policy because it could help smaller companies that may not have the resources to develop their own policies, and improve best practices followed in such cases. “On Saturday we are making them available publicly not because we think we have all the answers, but because we believe that the more companies are open about their policies, the more we can all learn from one another,” Sandberg said in a statement on Friday. “Our philosophy on harassment, discrimination, and bullying is to go above and beyond what is required by law,” she emphasised. The social network’s policies prohibit intimidating, offensive, and sexual conduct even when that conduct might not meet the legal standard of harassment.
