Ep. 38 – High Rank, High Risk: Harassment in Executive Spaces

6d ago 50:06

MP3•Episode home

In this eye-opening episode, employment attorneys Kristen Prinz and Christina Hynes Mesco explore the complex dynamics of harassment among senior executives—particularly how it impacts women in top leadership roles. Executives often have fewer avenues for reporting sexual harassment than other employees, and women continue to face disproportionate scrutiny and higher standards of behavior in the workplace. At the same time, executives are not immune from being accused of harassment themselves.

Kristen and Christina rely on their own expertise in counseling clients and litigating employment claims to explore the unique position senior women occupy in these conversations and how they can protect themselves and their teams.

Our hosts—experienced employment attorneys—discuss:

· Why senior women are often targets

· How miscommunications and unclear boundaries can lead to liability

· Why retaliation is still one of the most common mistakes companies make

· How they advise clients facing these high-stakes issues

· What effective organizational responses actually look like

· The critical importance of documenting concerns early and clearly

This episode will be instructive for C-suite leaders and aspiring executives, HR professionals and legal counsel, and anyone managing workplace culture and compliance. Whether you’re an executive navigating a tricky situation or advising leadership from the wings, this episode offers essential insights on how to lead with integrity, manage risk, and promote healthier workplace culture.
