Workplace harassment

With over 11,300 staff members, METRO SA has dedicated efforts to raise awareness and implement actions supporting mental health throughout its operations, including stores, distribution centers, and headquarters. Initiatives undertaken during Mental Health Month underscore the company’s commitment to values like equality, inclusion, mutual understanding, and camaraderie.

Over half the participants in a study conducted by the Social Action and Innovation Centre (KMOP) in Greece reported having experienced sexual harassment in their professional lives.

The study is part of a wider European initiative, "Teamwork," that seeks to combat sexual harassment in the workplace.

60 percent of women in Europe have suffered abuse or sexual harassment in the workplace, according to a study in five countries. The French research group IFOP found that 21 percent had reported such cases in the last 12 months, and more than 40 percent of the victims are under the age of 30.

60 percent of Americans assure they have been subjected to sexual harassment, according to a poll released 6 weeks after the outbreak of the scandal involving Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, reports 24chasa.
