That is a major issue. We had training telling us to not make eye contact with a woman for more then 5 seconds continuously and not put our hand on a woman's shoulder - like you normally do with a guy when you come over and he shows you something he works on.
It also had a section of it does not matter if the accusations are true or false you are not allowed to be spiteful to the complainant and need to continue working with a smile on your face.
When stuff like that comes out of HR who is crazy enough to actually date someone at work,
A former manager of mine (really nice guy, helped me become more professional) met his wife through work when she was just in charge of delivering mail. He's been married for I think 40 years now and at the point of grand kids now.
That has all been denied thanks to HR, because it's too easy to sack men in the workplace just for doing something as simple as asking if they want a drink when you go get one yourself from the lunch room. Work Place relationships often work well because the process of working together usually revels quickly when someone is putting up a front as you as you can compare how they act to how much they actually get done.
Then he can put her and her friends in the ground if she starts making false accusations and life the rest of his life on the tax payers dime in prison.
Happiness Culture is the worst thing HR brought to the workplace. I've worked with male-majority environments, and occasionally guys would have to be separated, but crybullies had far less power because disputes could actually be settled, and they had no power to get you fired for not tolerating them enough.
But I thought it was sexist to tell (or expect) people to smile? That whole thing is just enraging. And who is crazy enough to want to date a coworker? It almost makes you not want to even talk to any women at work. But that, apparently, is problematic too.
