Sexual Harassment Policy

WIKICAREER is committed to providing a safe, respectful, and dignified workplace free from any form of sexual harassment. We take all incidents seriously, investigate them promptly, and will take appropriate disciplinary action against anyone found to have violated this policy.

Our Commitment

Sexual harassment adversely affects work performance, morale, and the overall work environment. Wikicareer will not tolerate any kind of sexual harassment in the workplace. All complaints will be treated with respect, confidentiality, and without victimization.

Who This Applies To

This policy applies to all directors and employees of WIKICAREER.

What Is Sexual Harassment?

Sexual harassment means any unwanted conduct of a sexual nature, in any form — verbal, non-verbal, visual, gestural, or physical — that is offensive, humiliating, or a threat to an individual's well-being. It includes, but is not limited to:

  • Verbal: Offensive or suggestive remarks, comments, jokes, questioning, or sounds.
  • Non-verbal/Gestural: Leering, ogling, suggestive gestures, persistent flirting.
  • Visual: Showing pornographic materials, sex-based drawings or letters, sexual exposure.
  • Psychological: Repeated unwanted social invitations, relentless proposals for dates or intimacy.
  • Physical: Inappropriate touching, patting, pinching, hugging, kissing, fondling, or sexual assault.

Sexual harassment may take the form of sexual coercion (linked to job benefits) or sexual annoyance (creating a hostile or intimidating work environment).

How to Report a Complaint

All complaints of sexual harassment should be directed to the Human Resources Business Partner (HRBP), who is the Administrator of this Policy.

You may also report concerns through our Whistleblowing Channel, where reports are handled confidentially and in line with our Whistleblowing Policy.

Investigation and Disciplinary Action

Sexual harassment is regarded as a serious matter. Any employee found to have engaged in sexual harassment will face disciplinary action commensurate with the severity of the conduct, ranging from a formal written warning to immediate termination for serious offences involving physical coercion, retaliation, or severe patterns of behaviour.

All complaints will be investigated promptly. Investigators will consider all relevant evidence, including digital communications, witness statements, and other materials. Findings and recommendations will be forwarded to the Board.

Confidentiality and Protection

All inquiries, complaints, and investigations are undertaken with due regard to maintaining confidentiality. All parties are expected to maintain confidentiality throughout the process.

Retaliatory action against anyone who, in good faith, reports or is involved in a sexual harassment complaint is strictly prohibited. It is also a violation of this policy to make a false accusation of sexual harassment or to provide false information regarding a complaint; such actions will lead to serious disciplinary action.
