whom to approach if indirectly somebody is being harassed in the hospital? ( a female doctor)?

Answer 1

First of all, is it a government or a private hospital ? If it is government, the only place where you can go and complain is some Women's club or community. All you need is to file an FIR and create some hype through media. This alone will create the fear required for the harasser. If it is a private undertaking, then I guess any senior member of the hosital would be glad to attend the issue.

Answer 2

This is a complicated question. Is the female physician a resident or a hospital employee or a private physician with hospital privileges? I assume you are hinting the harasser is the female's supervisor, department head, etc. Regardless of whether you or your friend (or both) are the harassed, the place to start is up the chain of command - the harasser's boss. If you are the concerned, not the harassed, I would wait until you personally see a problem, or would have a strong belief a problem exists, before speaking to the harasser's boss. Eventually, the harassed herself is going to have to testify to the harassment. The harassed should not wait - she has the right to speak to the supervisor without the harasser present. Harassment of any sort is taken much more seriously today than in past times. A word of caution to you: be sure you have the entire truthful story.

Answer 3

A lot depends on the circumstances, but the important legal phrase is "on notice". When you have been notified of harassing behavior or have witnessed it, you are considered "on notice" and legally bound (in most cases) to report it. Failure to report it makes you liable as well. The report should be made to the supervisor of the person being harassed, or to HR if there is a conflict of interest there.

Answer 4

I know that in our employee handbook under the section of reporting harassment it states: employees witnessing harassment of other employees should immediately report any such incidents to their supervisor or the Human Resources Department. So, yes that person needs to be reported!

Answer 5

Answer 6

Start with the H.R in charge if that doesn't work I'm sure you have an employee help number to contact if needed..

Answer 7
