Workplace Harassment

Employers must provide a safe and secure workplace for their employees. Being safe and secure includes preventing sexual harassment at work. Workplace harassment is any unwanted activity in a workplace setting to make an employee feel uncomfortable and can include verbal or physical interactions. Sexual harassment is prohibited under the same laws that prohibit other types of discrimination, such as religious or race-based discrimination. Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advance or conduct on the job that creates a hostile, offensive, or intimidating workplace environment. Sexual harassment can take many forms, and both men and women can be the victim of sexual harassment.
