A manager from Equity Bank has been sent home after the popular bank learnt that he has been sexually harassing interns.
In a statement on Wednesday, the bank said the unnamed manager has been fired and replaced following numerous complaints against him by interns.
The manager has been making moves on interns in the Equity Leaders Programme pinning them down with sex for extra favors.
“The Group has taken necessary measures in line with its policies and procedures, including disciplinary measures, and in some cases termination/separation of employment of certain staff,” said, the group chairman designate.
Investigations
Ansell also said that the company had been investigating about the matter since October after complaints by interns in a work group.
He promised that neither the manager nor the interns who complained will be made public.
“Sexual harassment/assault in the workplace is totally unacceptable. We at Equity Group have chosen to share our experience openly and raise awareness on this issue of public interest,” he added.
