Identifying Hostile Workplace Harassment
Hostile work environment harassment occurs when unwelcome conduct based on sex, race, color, national origin, age, disability, or other protected characteristics is so severe or pervasive that it creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment. This form of sexual harassment can manifest in many different ways, including:
- Persistent inappropriate comments or jokes about an employee’s race, gender, or other protected characteristics.
- Unwanted physical contact or advances.
- Displaying offensive images or symbols.
- Intimidation or threats based on an employee’s protected status.
When these or other unprofessional and illegal behaviors occur, turn to our lawyers to help you. We do not tolerate sexual harassment and are prepared to stand up for you to make your workplace a safe place again.
