Power Harassment from various perspectives- company’s point of view

 From the company’s point of view, dealing with power harassment is a difficult balancing act. As someone who has worked in human resources, I’ve seen firsthand how companies often struggle to maintain a productive environment while protecting their reputation and legal standing. In many cases, when a report of power harassment surfaces, the immediate concern isn’t always the well-being of the victim—it’s often about minimizing public damage, handling it internally, and avoiding lawsuits. Some companies view such claims as threats to their image rather than opportunities for change. I’ve seen situations where managers were quietly transferred or reprimanded behind closed doors, not necessarily because the company deeply cared about justice, but because they needed to show that “something” was done. It was frustrating to witness how maintaining order and appearance often came before real accountability.
