No One Needs To Put Up With Workplace Harassment
Like many people, you may not love your job, but it’s necessary to do it in order to pay the bills. Still, you never have to deal with workplace harassment to the point where you feel physically ill and don’t want to go to work.
According to OREGON.gov; sexual harassment is defined as “Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or conduct of a sexual nature (verbal, physical, or visual), that is directed toward an individual because of gender. It can also include conduct that is not sexual in nature but is gender-related. Sexual harassment includes the harassment of the same or of the opposite sex.”
Sexual harassment isn’t just bad for the victim’s self-esteem and physical health, but for the company as well. If an employer knew or should have known about the sexual harassment, and didn’t take appropriate steps to stop the actions, then the employer is also liable. If you’re experiencing sexual harassment, then it’s important to acknowledge it and take steps to stop it.
