Phillips & Associates is proud to share the release of a new book by our Managing Partner, William K. Phillips: The Holiday Party Survival Guide: Understanding Sexual Harassment in New York: Holiday Parties, Office Events, and Off-Site Gatherings.
This is the first book published in collaboration with HarassmentHelp.org, a resource we created to help employees understand their rights and make informed choices early.
Holiday parties and office events should feel enjoyable and relaxing. Yet for some, a comment, touch, or advance can leave a sense of unease or pressure—especially when workplace power dynamics carry over. This practical guide offers clear, step-by-step support for anyone navigating these situations in New York.
Written in plain language, it covers real-life scenarios, explains what counts as sexual harassment or sexual assault (even with alcohol involved), and shares ways to document incidents safely, support others, and regain a sense of control. It follows a gentle approach: naming your rights, processing privately, and taking confidential next steps when ready.
