\"Man<\/p>\n

Majority of employees and employers view sexual harassment from the perspective that it only entails a worker asking for sex from another worker. This is not the case. Sexual harassment in the workplace is a form of sexual discrimination based on both verbal and non-verbal behavior such as uncalled for sexual gestures and indecent sexual comments. This leads to extreme obstruction of an employee\u2019s productivity and breeds an uncomfortable workplace setting. It is a violation of the Title VII Civil Rights Act of 1964 that seeks to curb sexual harassment. This article focuses on types of sexual harassment in the workplace.<\/p>\n

There are two categories of sexual harassment that are acknowledged by the law.<\/p>\n

Quid pro quo<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this case, recruitment, promotion and remuneration of employees is solely based on their willingness to offer sexual favors to the persons mandated to perform these processes. For instance, a department manager can threaten an employee of denying him\/her a promotion unless sexual favors are extended. A male supervisor can also suggest to a female worker to dress in a suggestive manner to get the attention of the boss. All these acts amount to this kind of sexual harassment.<\/p>\n

Hostile work environment <\/strong><\/p>\n

This arises when the work context is dictated by antagonism and coercion as a result of irrational sexual behavior by colleagues, greatly curtailing an employee\u2019s productivity. This is manifested in the form of explicit sexual discussions, uncalled for sexual advances by a colleague, disrespectful sexual remarks and jokes as well as displaying materials that advance immoral sexual behavior. Further, if a colleague makes romantic gestures to a fellow colleague and they are turned and the person persists doing it regardless of knowing the truth, this is tantamount to sexual harassment. The offended employee has the obligation to file a complaint through the help of an employment attorney.<\/p>\n

There is also a likelihood of another type of sexual harassment arising from quid pro quo sexual harassment as discussed below.<\/p>\n

Indirect sexual harassment<\/strong><\/p>\n

In some situations, a non-partisan in sexual harassment may indirectly bear the consequences of sexual harassment. This results in a case where an employee agrees to a sexual favor requested by a supervisor in order to be hired or get undeserved promotion denying the chance to a person who deserves it through meritocracy. In such a scenario, the plaintiff has the right to file a complaint against the offender.<\/p>\n

As a final point, it is the mandate of employees to ensure sexual harassment in the workplace is addressed by having relevant and sound polices that ensure the perpetrators face the consequences of their actions. Employees should also report such cases when they happen in order to get justice.<\/p>\n
