Sexual Harassment in a Workplace
Sexual harassment in the workplace is one of the sex discrimination constitutions. Sexual harassment in the workplace negatively impacts the work environment and underminds gender equality. It also creates unfair treatment at work and unfavourably affects the dignity and well-being of employees. It creates anxiety and stress for victims. If ignored, it could result in high costs for companies through loss of productivity, low worker morale, absenteeism, and staff turnover.
Behaviours that are considered as sexual harassments including unwelcome touching, staring or leering, suggestive comments or jokes, sexually explicit pictures or posters, unwanted invitations to go out on dates, requests for sexual intercourse, intrusive questions about a person's private life or body, unnecessary familiarity, such as deliberately brushing up against a person, taunts and insults based on gender or sexual, sexually explicit physical contact, and sexual emails or SMS text messages.
