Creating a Safe Work Environment: The Zatlar Struggle Against Sexual Harassment

Abstract

Zatlar Private Limited is a leading software service provider in India with a vision to provide innovative and cutting-edge software services for domestic consumption. This case depicts an incident of sexual harassment the company was recently confronted with. Many female employees quit their jobs without giving the actual reason behind their decision. The human resources manager tried to investigate the matter but was never provided with an actionable reason until two female employees, after quitting their jobs, filed a sexual harassment case against a male employee holding a key position in the company. The human resources manager was compelled to take immediate remedial measures to restore the company reputation and preventive actions from such incidents in future. Students are asked how Zatlar can recover from the damage and restore its reputation? The company, individuals, and the case are fictional but are representative of problems that occur at Indian firms.
