Harassment Hurts
Employee Satisfaction:
Research suggests that employees who observe harassment in the workplace are more likely to experience lower psychological and physical well-being. The driving factors of this were empathy for the victim, concerns about a hostile workplace, and even fears of becoming the next target of harassment.

Harassment Hurts
Hiring & Retention:
Toxic workplace culture was the #1 reason employees quit their job in 2021. A toxic corporate culture is 10.4x more powerful than compensation in predicting a company’s attrition rate. 73% of U.S. job seekers apply to a company only if its corporate culture aligns with their values.

Harassment Hurts
Company Reputation:
A single sexual harassment claim can be enough to dramatically shape public perception of a company and elicit perceptions of structural unfairness. Handling the sexual harassment claim well (being timely, informative, and considerate toward the victim) can redeem the company’s reputation.

Why
86?
Eighty-six is slang meaning "to throw out," "to get rid of," or "to refuse service to." It comes from 1930s restaurant / hospitality slang meaning that an item was sold out.
There is varying anecdotal evidence about why the term eighty-six was used, but the most common theory is that it is rhyming slang for nix.
