Yes. When they came to us to offer training, they asked us to help them establish their policies against harassment and conduct internal investigations. The way people talk to each other was part of their culture and it included jokes. However, it is important to understand that it takes two people to make a joke. When one person isn't laughing, it is no longer a joke. When one person in particular is laughed at or isolated, it is no longer a joke. Therefore, we had to work a lot on that. It wasn't so hard. It was harder to convince senior management that that culture had to change.
