- 1. SEXUAL HARRASSMENT AT WORKPLACE…..
- 2. What is Sexual Harassment? Sexual harassment is any unwelcome sexual advance or conduct on the job that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment. Any conduct of a sexual nature that makes an employee uncomfortable has the potential to be sexual harassment.
- 3. BY WHOME AND HOW?
- 4. Sexual harassment comes in many forms. The following are all examples of sexual harassment A supervisor implies to an employee that the employee must sleep with him to keep a job. A sales clerk makes demeaning comments about female customers to his coworkers

- 7. The harasser can be the victim's supervisor, manager, or coworker. An employer may even be liable for harassment by a nonemployee depending on the circumstances
- 8. Anyone Can Be Sexually Harassed…… Sexual harassment is a gender-neutral offense, at least in theory: Men can sexually harass women, and women can sexually harass men. However, statistics show that the overwhelming majority of sexual harassment claims and charges are brought by women claiming that they were sexually harassed by men.
- 9. STRATEGIES FOR PREVENTION Adopt a clear sexual harassment policy. In your employee handbook, you should have a policy devoted to sexual harassment.
- 10. Train employees. At least once a year, conduct training sessions for employees. These sessions should teach employees what sexual harassment is, explain that employees have a right to a workplace free of sexual harassment, review your complaint procedure, and encourage employees to use it. Train supervisors and managers. At least once a year, conduct training sessions for supervisors and managers that are separate from the employee sessions. The sessions should educate the managers and supervisors about sexual harassment and explain how to deal with complaints.
