Abstract

Increasingly, employees are bringing cases involving teasing and joking where they work before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the courts. Even if they don''t break the law, repeated racial and ethnic remarks directed toward employees can put the employer in a bad light, and the authors recommend that companies issue a written policy which forbids harassment. Managers should also consider using periodic race relations awareness training programs and counseling sessions to alert offending employees to the legal ramifications of their actions.
