In the past few weeks, the list of public figures who have been accused of workplace sexual harassment has grown.
According to Yuki Noguchi, an NPR correspondent who regularly reports on issues in the workplace, videos and various types of training programs that companies use to prevent harassment have been largely ineffective.
"What a lot of sexual harassment trainers will say is that sexual harassment really is something that happens in a culture where there are usually other problems," said Noguchi, "management problems, problems of civility, discrimination."
This week on Money Talking, Charlie Herman talks with Noguchi about what companies have done to prevent workplace harassment and what works and what doesn't.
As more men are getting accused of sexual harassment, companies are scrambling to find effective prevention strategies.
