Sexual Harassment Training Seminars: Keys to Stopping Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
Perhaps you've been subjected to sexual harassment in the workplace and would like to provide some tips to the individual engaging in such behavior. If so, you may wish to share the following with them: (1) do not make the mistake of treating individuals in the manner that you think they wish to be treated, but treat them in the manner they wish to be treated; (2) expend some effort to determine whether the other individual is actually participating and occasionally, at least, initiating the interaction between the two of you; and (3) always beware of the need to maintain the other individual's space, recognizing that you must first obtain their permission prior to invading that space.
Avoid touching individuals and/or standing too close to them without first asking whether they feel comfortable when you're doing so. It is unlikely that such conduct would be appropriate unless you and the other individual are close friends prior to engaging in such conduct. Any of these activities may serve as an appropriate basis for litigation against the employer, and are very likely to be situations for which you would qualify for a lawsuit loan.
It is important to keep in mind that relationships will change over time. Simply because behavior may have been appropriate in the past does not mean that conduct is appropriate at the present time. This is oftentimes simply a matter of the way in which the relationship has changed with time. If you are uncertain, you should always ask the other individual that such conduct is appropriate at the time in which he engage therein.
For those in managerial positions, you are advised to act in a prudent fashion. Individuals in such positions should limit compliments to employees' performance in the workplace, rather than employees' personal appearance. Additionally, it would be a rare instance in which it would be appropriate for an individual in a managerial position to comment on other employees' attire. You may qualify for a lawsuit loan to pursue an action against the employer due to a doctrine in law that makes the employee or, in many instances, liable for its employees' conduct.
