The Minnesota Department of Human Rights announced on Jan. 30 a settlement agreement with Home Depot after MDHR’s investigation found that several employees sexually harassed another employee and Home Depot failed to stop it.

“Sexual harassment is a violation of the law and a denial of basic human dignity,” said Commissioner Rebecca Lucero in a Jan. 30 press release from state government agency. “It harms individuals’ mental health, job performance, and well-being, while also undermining organizational integrity and productivity. Minnesota state law requires that employers create a workplace free from sexual harassment and assault. This agreement reminds Minnesota employers of this obligation.”
