Inappropriate Touching at Work

Inappropriate touching in the workplace, irrespective of gender, involves any unwelcome, non-consensual physical contact that breaches personal boundaries and contributes to a hostile work environment. This can include actions such as groping, massaging, holding hands, or hugging. Such behavior may be deemed sexual harassment if it is either extremely serious or occurs frequently. Are you aware of the signs that might indicate potential harassment?

Additional Information

While it may be well intentioned, the physical contact is uninvited and obviously not welcomed. If the behavior persists, and particularly if it's accompanied by comments like – “why don't you come over tonight and I'll really get you loosened up” - then it could be considered sexual harassment.

Remember, it doesn't matter if a person is sexually harassed by someone of the same or opposite sex - either situation could lead to a lawsuit.
