News reports over the last couple of years have shown that sexual harassment in the workplace is still way too common. It can derail careers and be destructive and costly to employees and employers.
Sexual harassment at work can take many forms, ranging from pervasive crude comments or jokes to actual sexual assault. It can be verbal or physical in nature. Sexual harassment may be subtle, but it can also be as explicit, such as a quid pro quo.
Sexual harassment is a form of gender discrimination and is not limited to actions against women. It can include severe and pervasive harassment based on sexual comments and innuendo, as well as physical touching, leading to a hostile work environment. Sexual harassment can also arise where the harassment comes from someone in position of power over you, and where that individual has threatened your employment, position, and/or compensation in exchange for sexual favors.
