Picture of the Day (from Sexual Harassment? You Decide™)

NEW

Gender-Based Harassment & Discrimination

Sending an altered image of a coworker may appear to be harmless, but it's not. At a minimum, such conduct can be considered inappropriate and unprofessional. If this behavior becomes repetitive or pervasive, it may create a hostile work environment and could provide grounds for a sexual harassment lawsuit under applicable laws and workplace policies.

Additional Information

Ultimately, preventing sexual harassment is about recognizing inappropriate conduct and making informed decisions to address it appropriately. If we witness or become aware of situations like the ones discussed today, it is crucial not to ignore or dismiss them. Instead, we must report the issue to someone in a position of authority who is responsible for addressing such matters.

Preventing sexual harassment requires a commitment to treating all employees, coworkers, customers, vendors, and others we interact with in the workplace with the utmost dignity and respect. This is not only a legal and organizational obligation but also the right course of action to foster a safe and respectful environment for all.
