Your company and my company are likely in the minority.

I disagree with this, especially in Canada. Smaller employers can be a crap shoot, but most large employers will have a solid program in place now.
There are so many repercussions for employers that don't follow through on harassment. People are more willing than ever to go to the media now and have your company name dragged through the mud.
Human Rights Tribunals can levy very heavy penalties against employers and seek damages for employees. These are a complete crock, are so stacked in favor the employee it isn't even amusing. If you have even a shred of evidence and a few 'witnesses' come forward, you can hold your ex-employer over a barrel for damages.
