NEW

Recognizing & Responding to Inappropriate Workplace Behavior

Every employee (from front line staff to the C-Suite) must understand and identify how repeatedly asking a coworker out after being refused can create discomfort, harm workplace trust, and potentially meet the standard for sexual harassment - especially when the behavior continues after boundaries are clearly communicated.

Additional Information

This session covers several key points, including:

  • Harassment risk is triggered when behavior becomes unwelcome, repeated, or creates pressure.
  • Refusal must end the behavior—continuation can shift the interaction into “unwelcome conduct.”
  • Social pursuit that affects workplace interactions can become hostile or disruptive to a person’s work environment.
  • Managers must address behavior early, factually, privately, and consistently.
