What is Sexual Harassment Character

How do you know if you’re experiencing sexual harassment in the workplace? As per the definition of the EEOC, if an individual’s rejection of unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical sexual conduct affects their employment status, their work performance, or creates a hostile or offensive work environment for the employee, then it is considered as sexual harassment. Two types of sexual harassment occur in the workplace: 1.  Quid Pro Quo  – This type of harassment is more easily seen and is what people think about when they hear the term sexual harassment in the workplace. Quid pro quo means that a person of higher authority than the victim requests sexual favors or wants to start a sexual relationship in exchange for the victim not getting fired or punished. Sexual favors in exchange for a promotion or a raise also fall under this type of sexual harassment.
