In this edition of the bottom line, we're asking how business is and should be changing in the era of Me Too.

Hello, welcome to the programme.

Over the last year, there has been an extraordinary recalibration of social attitudes towards sexual harassment and bullying.

Number one, boundaries have shifted, things that were considered bad, are now totally unacceptable,

touching inappropriately degrading colleagues through sexual banter.

For decades these have been frowned upon, but they're now widely seen as sackable offences.

But there's a second development here as well.

Since the Harvey Weinstein revelations emerged last year,

those subject to inappropriate behaviour have chosen to call it out.

No longer is there an expectation that anyone should have to put up with it by keeping quiet.

Well, in business, this is all having a profound effect.

Individual cases have hit the headlines. Accusations made against Sir Philip Green, for example. And companies are, or should be,

working out how to deal with cases. No longer is it okay to pay off perpetrators and bribe victims

into silence? Or is that what companies still think they should be doing?

Well, today we'll look at business in the Me Too era, and I have three excellent guests around

the table to discuss what business should be doing to change its ways. And my first guest is Zelda

Perkins, who worked as an assistant to film producer Harvey Weinstein. She broke a non-disclosure agreement, an NDA,

to talk about her experience in that role.

She's now an associate producer for a theatrical production company,

but for the past year and a half has been campaigning for changes to the law

on the basis of her own experience.
