Her Dissertation Titled 'Management of Sexual Harassment, Reality

long term professional and personal effects of the harassment. It
also included the impact of the management process in formally dealing
with the allegation of the harassment and whether the disciplinary
process could be managed differently.

and bullying

as a trained investigator. She now undertakes investigations for
organisations into allegations of racism, sexism, disabilisim or
any other form of harassment/bullying at work. Her approach of objectivity

as there are numerous benefits, costs have been reduced and the
complaints are resolved more effectively.
