Sexual harassment remains a significant issue in workplaces, despite widespread media attention. Recognized as unlawful sex discrimination under state and federal laws, it primarily manifests in two forms:
Quid pro quo harassment, often involving a supervisor or authority figure demanding sexual favors in exchange for job benefits such as promotions or raises.
Hostile work environment, characterized by a pattern of unwelcome sexual conduct or comments that significantly disrupt an employee’s work performance.
Sexual harassment includes behaviors like:
- Visual conduct: Inappropriate staring, displaying sexually suggestive materials
- Verbal conduct: Sexual comments, jokes, or gestures
- Physical conduct: Unwanted touching or assault
It also encompasses actions like offering job perks for sexual favors or retaliating against those who refuse such advances. While women are commonly affected, harassment can target anyone, irrespective of sex, orientation, identity, or workplace status.
