News memo
Skanska, Sweden’s largest construction company, has implemented a training programme named ‘etikstopp’, geared towards combatting sexual harassment both at the firm and at subcontractors. As part of the training, team and project leaders have to sit down with their relevant colleagues for a half an hour and discuss the topic of sexual harassment as well as the means to avoid it. This training is mandatory and the various division heads must organise sessions before the end of 2017. The initiative follows an incident which occurred in October on a construction site at the University of Kalmar. The company announced it had terminated its relationship with subcontractors working on the site because a female Skanska employee had been harassed by the subcontractor workers. If these subcontractors want to renew business relations with Skanska then they have to present an action plan to the company that aims to avoid this type of behaviour.
