Washington • More than one-third of employees at the Interior Department said they were harassed or discriminated against in the previous year, the department said Thursday as it released a report on workplace conditions at the sprawling agency.
Results from an anonymous survey of the department’s nearly 70,000 employees show that 8 percent reported being victims of sexual harassment and 16 percent reported harassment based on gender. More than 9 percent described harassment based on race or ethnicity.
The survey was conducted from January to March 2017 and covered the 12-month period before the survey was completed.
