WorkedUp podcast creator and host Matthew Steinberg was quoted in a Crain’s New York Business article titled, “Harassment Cases Start Hitting New York Companies,” discussing how employers can address what has become a sharp uptick in sexual harassment claims across nearly all market sectors.
Crain’s New York Business wrote, “Companies with rapid growth should realize they have to scale their human resources departments in line with the rest of the business, said Matt Steinberg, an attorney at Akerman who works with employers. ‘People are recognizing that there is real damage and real risk to not stepping back to see how the workplace is operating in the day-to-day way.’”
Steinberg also discussed this topic in greater detail in WorkedUp, following his interview with EEOC Commissioner Chai Feldblum:
