What is Workplace Harassment?

Allowing workplace harassment to continue will cause legal problems while destroying company morale. Many people are uncertain about what constitutes harassment, and they are confused when their actions are pointed out as demeaning.
Harassment is an unwelcome verbal or physical behavior and offensive comments to unwanted physical advances and requests for sexual favors that is based on race, color, religion, sex, gender/gender identity, nationality, age, physical or mental disability, or genetic information. You also should identify the different types of harassment because a joke could be harassment if it is inappropriate.
