Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is a very serious issue.

Sexual harassment happens when an individual or individuals create a tense or uncomfortable work environment, which keeps a worker or workers from performing their duties. Both men and women can be guilty of sexual harassment. Some examples of sexual harassment:

• Making unwanted sexual advances toward a person.
• Using demeaning names to address someone (honey, baby, etc).
• Coercing workers into sexual favors, to keep a job or for promotion.
• Using sexually explicit language in a professional environment.
• Making comments about the sexual appearance of an individual.
