5. If you witnessed inappropriate or sexually suggestive conduct in the workplace, which best describes how you would react?
I would play it off as a misguided joke or assume there was an alternative explanation and take no action.
I would intervene to redirect the situation and, depending upon the severity of the behavior, report the incident to HR.
I would take mental note of the incident and be on the lookout for any continued problem behavior from the person in the future.
I would pretend it did not happen because it’s none of my business.

Some of the time. It more so depends on who is willing to step up and offer good ideas.
Never. If you have something to say, say it. It is not on me to ensure that colleagues have input. They should be able to speak up for themselves.
