Sexual harassment can cost a company millions and damage employee morale. Nip it in the bud by identifying it early with this information.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Observation skills
Documentation

Step 1: Identify sexualized social environments

Identify sexualized social environments, such as ones where sexual joking is prevalent.

Step 2: Recognize quid pro quo harassment

Recognize that any unwelcome sexual activity that the harasser ties to employment decisions or benefits qualifies as quid pro quo sexual harassment under federal law.

Tip: A supervisor asking for a date in exchange for a promotion is practicing quid pro quo harassment.

Step 3: Spot a hostile work environment

Familiarize yourself with what constitutes a hostile, offensive, or intimidating work environment, such as vulgar language, sexual innuendoes, pornography, or inappropriate physical contact.

Step 4: Document harassing conduct

Document harassing conduct, particularly if the perpetrator is a supervisor. Log each incident, including dates, times, and witnesses' names.

Tip: Men suffer sexual harassment, too, especially those whom others perceive as less masculine.

Step 5: Remember collateral victims

Remember that the victim of sexual harassment does not have to be the person harassed but could be anyone that the offensive conduct affects.

Step 6: Count on frequency

Count on frequency to prove harassment -- the courts will not consider one isolated incident harassment unless the conduct was extreme.

sexual harassment in the workplace

[videodads]

Wonder where they got their claim that 'nearly half of all women have suffered sexual harassment on the job' from?

If it's from a feminist 'study' - it most likely translates to "nearly 1 in 50 women - but we'll bump it up, as usual, to make it more alarming!"

It's strange they completely omitted to cite their source on this 'claim' of theirs.

the simple easy to remember rule is this>>if you ask, and she says no, then its game over! and move on to greener pastures! and restrict all future communication with the rejecting party to only work related dialogue. ....remember!! no chick is worth a fat lip or legal trouble!! just walk away and save yourself !
