What Is Sexual Harassment?
Sexual harassment includes any unwelcome sexual advance, request for sexual favors, or verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that interferes with your ability to work. This can include:
- Crude jokes, inappropriate comments, or explicit images or materials
- Coerced physical contact or pressure to engage in sexual acts
- Threats to your job security if you don’t comply
When these behaviors occur, they create a toxic, hostile work environment that no one should have to endure.
Two Main Types of Sexual Harassment
- Quid Pro Quo: When job benefits (like promotions or continued employment) are conditioned on sexual cooperation
- Hostile Work Environment: When harassment is so severe or pervasive that it disrupts your daily work experience
