Although Cuban has faced the charges head on, even going so far as to pledge $10M to domestic violence charities, some question whether Cuban can recover\u2026or, if the Dallas Mavericks\u2019 workplace will ever truly be safe for women.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s easy to understand why women might not want to work for an organization like the Mavericks, or why people would be hesitant to trust Cuban,\u201d says Rob Wilson, human resources expert and President of Employco USA, a national employment-solutions firm. \u201cAfter all, this abuse went on for years within the Mavericks\u2019 workplace, Cuban\u2019s remorse is obvious, but for the impacted employees, the apologies might feel \u2018too little, too late\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To this end, Rob Wilson has advice for Mark Cuban and other leaders who might find themselves in a similar situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf your workplace is grappling with allegations of sexual harassment, there are several steps that managers and employers need to take right away,\u201d says Wilson.<\/p>\n<p>The human-resources expert offers these 5 tips below:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Have a zero-tolerance policy. <\/strong>\u201cAccording to allegations against the Mavericks\u2019 employees and Mark Cuban, sexual harassment was tolerated for years,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cThere are rumors of pay-outs, hush money and turning a blind eye. Instead, employers must enact a zero-tolerance policy and ensure that every new hire knows about this policy and is aware that absolutely no sexual misconduct will be permitted.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hire a more diverse workforce.<\/strong> \u201cMark Cuban just put a female CEO in charge of his employees, which is a very wise move and one that other employers could learn from,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cWhile women being in positions of power in the workplace is no guarantee against sexual misconduct, it can certainly help to stem the tide and make female employees feel safer coming forward.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Anonymous reporting.<\/strong> \u201cIn this vein, all workplaces need to have a system for anonymous reporting in which employees can safely come forward and ask for help without being punished or humiliated,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cAnonymous reporting keeps offices honest and employees safer.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sexual assault prevention training.<\/strong> \u201cIt might sound unnecessary, but as recent #MeToo reports in the media have shown, there are many people who need to be trained on professional behavior in the workplace as it relates to women, sex and dating,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cSexual assault prevention training for all employees, male and female, will help to clean up your office\u2019s culture and ensure that everyone feels safe and protected.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Employee assistance programs.<\/strong> \u201cAlong with anonymous reporting structures and training seminars, it would be wise for companies to also offer programs that will help to assist employees who might be grappling with these issues,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cThis will not only help to support employees, but it is a good-faith effort that shows you are dedicated to keeping your office safe for all people and free of the scourge of sexual harassment and violence against women.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>For more on this topic, please contact Rob Wilson at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:rwilson@thewilsoncompanies.com\">rwilson@thewilsoncompanies.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Human resources and leadership expert explains how to fix the Mavericks\u2019 corporate culture \u201cShark Tank\u201d star and billionaire Mark Cuban is in hot water after accounts of sexual harassment and violence within the Dallas Mavericks came to light in recent&hellip;  <\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/blog\/2018\/09\/21\/5-tips-for-mark-cuban-to-fix-the-mavericks\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2331","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-human-resources"],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Employco USA","author_link":"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/blog\/author\/employcousa\/"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
