Workplace harassment encompasses a range of unwelcome behaviors, actions, or conduct that creates a hostile or intimidating work environment. It is important to note that harassment can occur in various forms, including but not limited to:
- Sexual Harassment: This type of harassment involves unwelcome advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal, non-verbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature. It can include offensive jokes, comments, or gestures that create a hostile work environment.
- Discriminatory Harassment: Discrimination-based harassment targets individuals due to their race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability, or other protected characteristics. It involves derogatory comments, slurs, or actions that demean or create a hostile environment for the targeted individual.
- Bullying: Workplace bullying refers to the repeated mistreatment, intimidation, or humiliation of an employee through verbal abuse, threats, or other offensive behaviors. It can cause severe emotional distress and affect an individual's ability to perform their job effectively.
Harassment in the workplace is not only morally wrong but also illegal under various federal, state, and local laws. Employers have a legal obligation to maintain a workplace free from harassment and to promptly address any reports or complaints of harassment.
