Experience shows being sued is pretty strong disincentive - otherwise big companies wouldn't spend time and money on training, manuals, procedures, etc. to avoid being sued. Of course, it may not be a disincentive to a particular person - but as soon as someone in HR realizes it exposes them to being sued - that person would be in trouble.

Of course there is. Exposure. As soon as this behavior is exposed, again the experience shows the pressure is enough to make pretty big companies to listen and move. Smaller companies probably would be even more susceptible to the pressure. Of course, that wouldn't solve the basic problem (some people are assholes) but it can go a long way to make them not feel welcome and encouraged.
