Development of Policies for Preventing and Handling Workplace Sexual Harassment: A Systematic Literature Review

\nThis study aimed to evaluate the trends in research topics on workplace sexual harassment policies and identify new policy models that are effective in preventing and addressing this issue. The method used was a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 steps, with an analysis conducted on 216 articles found in the Scopus database. The results of the study indicate that there are five main clusters covering medical and clinical aspects, gender issues, women’s status, psychological approaches, legal aspects and organizational policies, and violence and health in the workplace. The study also revealed that social movements such as #MeToo have had a significant influence on increasing awareness of and research on workplace sexual harassment. Recommendations include the preparation of clear written policies, regular education and training for employees, development of transparent complaint procedures, and adequate support for victims. In addition, corrective and preventive actions must be applied consistently, and an organizational culture that supports gender equality must be developed. The use of technology and the regular evaluation of policies are also recommended to ensure their relevance and effectiveness. With these steps, organizations can create safer, fairer, and more inclusive work environments for all employees.\n
