A 2017 sexual discrimination charge led to an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission investigation in which the EEOC found “reasonable cause to believe that Uber permitted a culture of sexual harassment and retaliation against individuals who complained about such harassment.” As part of the settlement agreement, Uber will establish a fund of $4.4 million to compensate anyone who the EEOC determines experienced sexual harassment on or after January 2014, according to an EEOC.
Uber has also agreed to implement a system for identifying employees who have filed more than one harassment complaint and for identifying managers who do not respond to concerns of sexual harassment in a timely manner. In addition, the company has agreed to work with an independent consultant to update human resources policies and will continue to conduct surveys and exit interviews with a focus on sexual harassment and retaliation.
"In particular, employers should take note of Uber's commitment to holding management accountable and identifying repeat offenders so that high-performing, superstar harassers are not allowed to continue their behavior,” EEOC San Francisco District Director William Tamayo said in the release. “The tech industry, among others, has often ignored allegations of sexual harassment when an accused harasser is seen as more valuable to the company than the accuser.
