Sexual Harassment: What It Is and How to Handle It

The first circumstance of sexual harassment in the video is inappropriate touching, such as rubbing the hand and firm handshake. The employer also looks at the employee to show he is sexually attracted to the lady while leaving the office (Jasmin, 2014). The employee needs privacy at their place of work, and the video shows how an employer invades the employee's privacy by following her where she goes, which may lower her performance at work. Poor performance may result from wasting time trying to avoid interactions with harassers (Jasmin, 2014). The last situation where there is sexual harassment in the video is when the employer asks to go for a date with her employee. The employer is using his superiority for sexual desires to promote the lady at work.  

Dealing with Sexual Harassment at the Workplace 

The employee can keep a document recording all the activities that are happening within the place of work. Keeping a record can help point out specific dates and times when the activities are happening. The employee can also point the exact comments and words that the harasser is using when enticing them into sexual misconduct. The employee can make it clear that they do not like sexual misconduct. They should gain the courage to meet with their employer to talk about how they feel unsafe due to sexual behaviors. The employee can then point out the exact words an employer uses and tell them how they are offensive. The employee can also consult a lawyer when the situation becomes more confusing. Consulting a lawyer will help the employee know the behaviors that seem to be sexual harassment. The employee has the responsibility to avoid any communication between an employer that violates their performance at work.
