Workplace Harassment

Workplace harassment refers to unwanted and inappropriate behavior in a work setting that creates a hostile, intimidating, or abusive environment for employees. This behavior can manifest in various forms, including verbal abuse, bullying, discriminatory remarks, and unwanted advances, and may be based on characteristics such as race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or disability. Workplace harassment can originate from supervisors, colleagues, or even clients, and it undermines the dignity of the individuals involved, impacting their emotional well-being and work performance. Organizations are generally required to address and prevent harassment through policies, training programs, and reporting mechanisms to ensure a safe and respectful workplace for all employees.
