organization to prevent, address, and eliminate harassment within the workplace.

psychological harassment.

CODE OF CONDUCT ROLL-OUT
OVERVIEW AND INTENDED OUCOMES
PLANNING
PHASE
Cultural
Legal Landscapes:
Regulatory Landscape
Tolerances a major cultural
consideration when it comes to
harassment whereby Nigeria and
Vietnam are more tolerant to
harassment advances as compared
to USA.
Understanding cultural differences
The compliance institutes
protection from any form of
harassment and punishment for
participation in harassment
investigation or reporting
harassment instances.
In legal term USA is the principal –
Commitment to a harassment-free
work environment. Statutes include
origin, identity, orientation, reprisal,
among others (Ross, n.d.).
The Vietnamese labor law (Clause 9
Article 3 of the Labor Code 2019)
stipulates punishment and dismissal
for any individual or organization
involved in any form of harassment
(Uyen, 2022).
The Nigerian law classifies
harassment as offensive physical or
behavioral act against victim (Umah,
n.d.)
PLANNING
PHASE
Stakeholder Engagement:
Customization and Localization
of the Code:
Involved stakeholders include shareholders,
employees, customers, local authorities and
community members.
The customization process involves adapting
the primary anti-harassment policy, based on
U.S. law, to ensure it complies with and is
relevant to the legal and cultural contexts of
Nigeria and Vietnam.
Leadership bodies such as local and federal
government as well as organizational leadership
and Human Resource are integral members of
the team.
A representation from each section of
stakeholders form the team responsible for the
implementation.
In local terms the code translates to entitlement
of employees to a harassment free environment,
that is free from any form of physical, behavioral
harassment and protects those who report
harassment cases or involve in harassment
manifestation as well as stipulate punishment for
any instance of harassment
Such a code incorporates and balances the three
nations’ viewpoints as well as balances local,
federal and global standards.

COMMUNICATION AND
TRAINING STRATEGY
Development of
the
Communication
Plan
• The anti-harassment program develops a
unified and documented message for
communicating its policy to the audience.
• The program uses localization in a way that it
makes the communication available in a
format and language that the target users can
access. Such a move includes translating the
message into local languages.
• The communication utilizes various channels
including conferences, emails, memos, among
others to ensure that the communication
spreads effectively to the target audience.
• The program incorporates multimedia
elements such as videos and animations to
make the communication more engaging and
accessible. These visual aids help explain the
policy and reporting mechanisms clearly.
