Every year US firms lose millions of dollars through this problem. Looking to their purse strings, companies have taken a variety of steps. Many have established sexual harassment review boards. Many give handbooks to new employees to teach them how to avoid committing harassment, wittingly or unwittingly.
而曾有數據顯示，美國各大企業每年平均要因此損失高達數百萬美元的金額；為了荷包著想，各企業莫不戰戰兢兢，不僅設有「性騷擾審議委員會」，新進員工更是人手一冊，教導如何避免有意無意間犯下騷擾罪行。
