NAR: Women Describe Culture of Fear & Harassment.

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) is facing allegations of widespread sexual harassment and a toxic work culture of fear and retribution. According to the New York Times, interviews with 29 current and former NAR employees and leaders exposed an environment of gender bias, inappropriate behavior, and retribution.

While the NAR is supposed to promote an ethical, respectful and safe working atmosphere for its members, it seems to have instead enabled misconduct. Women described experiences of being belittled, discounted, and undermined at the hands of male co-workers and supervisors. It appears that those who spoke up against the misconduct were retaliated against, with allegations that some employees were fired after putting forth complaints.

The accounts of abuse echo that of broader society and other large organisations, where workers do not feel safe or comfortable to come forward about their experiences of sexual harassment. As reported by the New York Times, NAR is taking steps to address the alleged misconduct and learn from its mistakes.
