The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission reports that one in four women are sexually harassed at the workplace. Not all victims of sexual harassment report this misconduct. According to some other studies, the actual number of workplace sexual harassment victims is 85%. More and more cases of sexual harassment coming to light indicate that this kind of behavior is encouraged in a toxic work environment. A pattern of sexual harassment can also lead to post-traumatic stress disorder in the victims.

  • Touching you or himself/herself in sexually provocative ways. 
  • Sending sexually graphic pictures such as provocative photos and explicit personal photos. 

When Someone Else Is The Victim 

Due to the following reasons, some victims do not report sexual harassment: 

  • There is an element of shame and confusion associated with sexual harassment claims.
  • The victim worries about immediate repercussions.     
  • He/She fears future career repercussions. 
  • The victim is not aware of the signs of sexual harassment. 
  • The victim is not aware of sexual harassment laws and his/her rights.

If you feel that it is safe to address the issue directly, you can communicate with the harasser. Tell him/her that you do not appreciate his/her intimidating, inappropriate, abusive or hostile behavior and he/she must stop. 

Record

  • Name of the harasser
  • Date, time and place of harassment 
  • His/her inappropriate words and/or actions 
  • Name of the person who has witnessed the harassment 

Report Internally

How To Prevent Workplace Sexual Harassment?  

An employer can take the following steps to build a better workplace:  

  • Creating Sexual Harassment Policies 
  • Defining Complaint/Investigation Procedure 
  • Fostering a No-tolerance Workplace
  • Sexual Harassment Training 

Sexual Harassment Policies 

The employer must draft a sexual harassment policy to prevent and deal with cases of sexual harassment. The human resource department must make sure that the policies are implemented. This policy should clearly define what kind of behavior is considered sexual harassment. The policy should also define the rights of the victim. 

Complaint/Investigation Procedures 

The employer must define a procedure the victim can follow to report sexual harassment. Similarly, there should be a well-defined procedure to investigate the claim internally. 

Foster a no-tolerance workplace

There should be a zero-tolerance policy against any kind of sexual misconduct. From top to bottom, no one should be able to walk away.     

Sexual Harassment Training 

Sexual harassment training for employees and managers is beneficial for the organization. 

  • Sexual harassment training helps in building a safe workplace. 
  • This training makes everyone aware of acceptable and unacceptable behavior.   
  • It sends a clear message from the top. 
  • Training empowers bystanders. 
  • It encourages reporting.     

There are federal and state laws in place to protect the victim and punish the harasser. If you want to take legal action, contact a knowledgeable sexual harassment attorney in San Francisco.
