As we enter 2018, we must continue to fight for inclusion and equality, especially for women at work. We recognize that we urgently need change and accelerating that change is the good that can come from the watershed #MeToo moment that we are experiencing.
The human and business cost of sexual harassment is devastating. Here’s how you can help inspire and navigate change in your workplace.
