Immediately will be labeled as sexist and forced to close business. You can't win this battle, best way is to not play.

Are you kidding? There's loads of this kind of thing out there already. Just call it something sickening like 'Workplace Wellness' and you are good. Though I think they should borrow one of the existing programs from the US military if they want to get the message through to certain people I have encountered in management. Having a drill seargent bellow at them about it not being ok to molest their secretary might actually work wonders.

We are getting close.

You bait and switch it as a military backed outdoor team-building exercise and wait till everyone is half way up a mountain and can't easily get away before getting a six and a half foot transexual marine to terrify them into understanding the concept of intersectionality.

Lol. I like it.

Do you think I have much of a future in HR consultancy?

Yes. On serious note, it is huge opportunity even as non VC scale biz. It is infinite in nature.

I think the problem lies in gender education in schools and colleges, where people get lost in transition to adult life.

Like hitting on everyone/anyone in college is fair game because there is no power differential, but as soon as people enter workforce, they need to be retrained.

I think the problem could be solved by a rule of no hitting on anyone in the workplace and much shorter working hours. People get horny. If you lock them up in the workplace for their entire waking life you are going to have some fairly predictable issues.

We can just go with euphemism, like “work comfort” and obviously we do it for all genders.
