tangible; substantial; reasonable; unreasonably.

Explanation:

Civil Rights Act has its tentacles all around and places of work are not excluded. There are rights in which the employers has and there are rights in which employees has too. In cases relating to sexual harassment or any other unlawful harassment in workplaces, employers can make use of the Ellerth/Faragher defense to escape being charged for harassment.

For instance, if there is a case of sexual harassment of subordinate (s) in a company or organization and the employer was able to come up with a plan to prevent or curb that harassment in the company. Then, later the employee now sue the company with allegation concerning the sexual harassment, the employer can use the Ellerth/Faragher defense to defend himself/herself/themselves because the employer (s) had put in plan to prevent that kind of Behavior initially.
