Steps To Take When Fighting Against It

Unfortunately, different things can happen at our workplace that make us feel uncomfortable and not appreciated enough. This is something we should fight against, and we should get informed and learn as much as we can about the types of harassment we can experience.

One of the most common things that happen is sexual harassment and there are different ways to deal with it. Any sexual advance or request for that type of favor as well as physical or verbal behavior of sexual nature is considered to be harassment. This is, of course, against the law and should be reported right away. One of the most successful ways to do that is to document what happens.

You can write it down together with the date and time when it happened so that if things get serious you have a detailed report. If this behavior includes verbal sexual advances, then you can still deal with it on your own by making it clear that you won’t tolerate that type of behavior. If they continue to do it, you can consult a lawyer or a person in charge at your company. You should never be afraid to speak up about sexual harassment because if you fight against it openly, you will also be an inspiration to others to do the same, which means that we will be on a good path to eradicate this type of behavior.

Whenever you are feeling uncomfortable enough and you feel like your coworker or employer is making sexual advances, you should document it and reported it right away according to the company’s policy. Do not tolerate it ever and use our advice if you need help in figuring out how to do it.
