Workplace harassment is a pervasive issue that can create a toxic environment, undermine productivity, and damage an employee’s mental well-being. Whether it involves inappropriate comments, bullying, or unwanted advances, harassment has no place in a professional setting. At Castronovo & McKinney, we are dedicated to helping employees confront harassment and reclaim a respectful workplace.
What Is Workplace Harassment?
Harassment in the workplace occurs when unwelcome behavior based on a protected characteristic creates a hostile or intimidating environment. Common forms of workplace harassment include:
- Sexual Harassment: Unwanted advances, inappropriate comments, or quid pro quo behavior.
- Verbal or Physical Harassment: Insults, threats, or physical intimidation targeting an individual’s gender, race, or religion.
- Retaliatory Harassment: Punitive actions following an employee’s complaint about misconduct or discrimination.
Federal and state laws protect employees from harassment and hold employers accountable for maintaining a safe and respectful workplace.
Steps to Address Workplace Harassment
If you are experiencing harassment, it’s crucial to take steps to protect yourself and build a strong case. Here’s what you should do:
- Document Incidents: Record details of each incident, including dates, times, locations, and individuals involved.
- Report to HR: Notify your supervisor or HR department about the harassment and provide them with your documentation.
- Seek Legal Advice: Consult an experienced employment attorney to understand your rights and options.
Taking these steps can strengthen your case and help prevent further misconduct.
