Preventing Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment can be a complex and emotional issue. What may be perceived as appropriate behavior to one person may be blatant harassment to another. And even people who believe they have good intentions unknowingly commit sexual harassment. But everyone deserves a workplace that is free of sexual harassment. You have a responsibility to yourself and your coworkers to take action when faced with sexual harassment in the workplace.
