Malone Workforce Solutions subjected female employees at the company’s Omaha, Nebraska, healthcare staffing office to unlawful sexual harassment, the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit. According to the EEOC’s suit, male employees continually made harassing and derogatory comments to female employees and engaged in lewd, sexually explicit conversations in open work spaces where female employees could not avoid them. When one of the women asked to be moved to a different work area to avoid the harassment, her supervisor initially allowed her to work in a different area, but the conduct continued. The woman then reported the harassment to a higher-level manager, who dismissed her concerns. The woman’s supervisor then forced her to move back to her original work area next to the harassers and placed her on a performance improvement plan. The harassment continued, and the woman was forced to quit.
