WBA Survey of Workplace Harassment: Read Now
In the wake of the #MeToo movement and the enormous focus on workplace behaviors that profoundly impact careers, the Women’s Bar Association of Massachusetts (“WBA”), in partnership with the Rikleen Institute for Strategic Leadership (“Rikleen Institute”), developed and distributed a detailed survey to: provide a more nuanced understanding of behaviors that take place in the law firm environment; identify steps that have been taken to address behaviors of concern; and offer recommendations to help law firms provide a safe, respectful and inclusive workplace for all employees.
The goal of this survey is to develop a better understanding of whether behaviors exist in the law firm environment that negatively impact lawyers, paralegals, firm administrators, support staff, interns, and law students. In addition, the survey provides specific recommendations for positive change that can be of benefit in any workplace environment.
