QUESTION 1
What is the definition of “harassment”?
Harassment is defined as
intimidating, hostile, or offensive behavior toward someone, or the creation of
an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment for someone, based on that
person’s national origin, race, color, religion, gender, disability, or age.
QUESTION 2
Explain three (3) types of sexual harassment.
Three (3) types of sexual harassment are:
1. Quid pro quo harassment
Something is given in exchange for something else. In this type of sexual
harassment, submission to or rejection of a sexual favor is used as the basis
for employment decisions regarding that employee. The employment decision may
be an increase in pay, a promotion, or keeping a job. Only supervisors or other
members of management can engage in quid pro quo harassment.
2. Environmental sexual harassment
Comments or innuendos of a sexual nature or physical contact are
considered a violation when they interfere with an employee’s work performance
or create an “intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.” In this
situation, the harassment must be persistent and so severe that it affects the
employee’s well-being.
3. Third-party sexual harassment
Third-party sexual harassment involves a customer or client and an
employee. The customer or client may harass an employee, or the other way
round. For example, a male customer may harass a female bartender.

QUESTION
1
Understanding and embracing
diversity is of critical importance in today's increasingly multicultural and
diverse society. As a supervisor of a fine dining restaurant, you need to
define "diversity" and discuss any five (5) workplace diversity
issues that might occur at your restaurant.
Diversity is defined as
physical and cultural dimensions that separate and distinguish individuals and
groups: age, gender, physical abilities and qualities, ethnicity, race, sexual
preference.
Five (5) workplace diversity
issues that might occur at my restaurant are:
1. Gender issues
Recent years have witnessed the influx of many women in the
workforce, and the proliferation of dual income families. The need to maintain
gender equality and prevent gender discrimination in aspects such as hiring,
remuneration, promotions, and the like is another major diversity issue.
2. Cultural issues
Another major diversity issue in the workplace is preference or
discrimination based on racial and cultural considerations. A controversial
related issue is affirmative action that entails hiring or promoting employees
belonging to a certain race, color, ethnic or national origin to benefit an
unpresented group, usually as means to counter the history of discrimination.
Restaurant hiring or promoting employees from minority groups to satisfy
affirmative action however run the risk of ‘reverse discrimination’ or
overlooking better qualified employees.
3. Religious issues
Issues that can require accommodation, such as the wearing of
religiously significant attire such as hijabs, crosses or yarmulkes; taking
time off for religious observance; and having facilities for prayer breaks and
meditation.
4. Age issues
The old often feel that they do not get the respect they deserve. They
also feel like not being part of the team because of the high expectations than
of their peers and being patronized by the supervisor.
5. Differently abled issues
Diversity in capabilities refers to a sensitivity towards employee
who may be mentally or physically differently-abled or maybe afflicted by some
physical or mental shortcomings. Serious problems could occur for those
employees who have been slotted into various groups of the differently abled as
a result of which they are not allowed to build on their actual capabilities. A
restaurant practicing such discrimination will also suffer by not giving a
commensurate salary to an employee whose true potential is not maximized on the
work front simply because s/he wears the otherwise irrelevant tag of a
particular class, sect or sex.
Define performance standards and explain the five (5)
areas of a good “performance standard system” can do
Performance standard is describes the what and how
of a job, and explains what an employee is to do, how it is to be done, and to
what extent.
Five (5) areas of a good “performance standard
system” can do:
1. On the job
Intelligent and consistent use of a performance standard system
reduces or eliminates position, job analysis, job description, job
specification, and job evaluation for low productivity and high turnover. Employees
are told clearly what to do. They are taught how to do it. They know how well
they are doing because there is an objective standard of measurement. All this
makes for much better relationships between workers and supervisor.
Performance standards improve individual performance.
A performance
2. In recruiting and hiring
The typical job description spells out in general terms the content
of the job, the duties and perhaps the kind of experience or skill desired.
Performance standard on the other hand clearly define the jobs and the duties,
the methods of performing the duties and the competencies required. This will
help a supervisor to find the right people and to explain the jobs to
prospective employees. It will also help in planning and forecasting personnel
needs, To find for experienced people, performance standards are helpful for
testing skills.
3. In training
A complete set of performance standards gives you the blueprint for
a training program. Each standard sets the competency goals for on-the-job
performance toward which the training is guided. The training that forms the
heart of a successful performance standard system begins with a written
procedure.
4. In evaluating performance
A complete performance standard system should include periodic
evaluations of each worker’s performance with feedback to the workers on how
they are doing. Realistic and well-developed standards of performance form a
solid basis for objective evaluation. After evaluation, the supervisor is
responsible for helping those who are working below standard to improve their
performance.
An evaluation system based on performance standards can pinpoint
specific deficiencies needing corrective training. It is a positive approach;
the focus is on the work, not the person; it does not put the person down. The
problem is addressed and corrected, and everyone benefits. A performance
standard evaluation system can also help to identify superior workers by the
way they meet or exceed the standards set.
5. In your job and career
A performance standard system will simplify your job as supervisor.
Once it is in place and running, you will spend less of your time supervising
because your people will be working more independently and things will run more
smoothly on their own accord.
