Sexual Harassment In The Workplace
Introduction
Sexual harassment in the workplace has taken a dramatic leap into public awareness. Most feel that a joke or comment shared between coworkers is not sexual harassment, but to those who do not share the humor, it is. That is where much of the problems are coming from; people not agreeing on what is and is not sexual harassment Many people every year experience sexual harassment and do nothing about the problem. Is this because they are unaware of how to address their problem Will our Justice system try to elevate this growing problem in the workplace
We as humans know that it is wrong for our employer to ask us to engage in sexual contact with clients or customers.
