Facebook COO: ‘No tolerance’ for sexual harassment

By Giovanni Bruno

Facebook Inc. Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg spoke about the importance of fostering a safe and respected work environment where employees don’t go to work fearing sexual harassment, while advocating for a zero-tolerance policy.

“It’s abominable that it still exists in this day and age,” Sandberg told Bloomberg Television.

“I think it’s great when people lose their jobs when it happens, because I think that is what will get people to not do it in the future,” she added. “And I think this is a leadership challenge. As a leader of a company, there needs to be no tolerance for it.”
