What is Sexual Harassment?

It is unlawful to harass a person (an applicant or employee) because of that person's sex. Harassment can include sexual harassment or unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature.

Harassment does not have to be of a sexual nature, however, and can include offensive remarks about a person's sex. For example, it is illegal to harass a woman by making offensive comments about women in general.

Both victim and the harasser can be either a woman or a man, and the victim and harasser can be the same sex.
Although the law doesn't prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents that are not very serious, harassment is illegal when it is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment or when it results in an adverse employment decision (such as the victim being fired or demoted).

The harasser can be the victim's supervisor, a supervisor in another area, a co-worker, or someone who is not an employee of the employer, such as a client or customer.


What is sexual harassment in the workplace?

It is behavior that is bothersome, irritating, demeaning, and annoying. Sexual harassment is harassment of a sexual nature. But it can be more!  It is against the law! It can lead to substantial and embarrassing court fines and significant payments to an injured party. It can mean reduced productivity. It can be measured in lower stock value. It can be a hostile work environment. It is wrong. 


A few questions you may want to ask yourself are:

What is my companies sexual harassment policy? What is sexual harassment law? What are some sexual harassment statistics? What is my definition of sexual harassment? What is sexual harassment in the work place? How much money would my company be willing to pay to settle a sexual harassment law suit? How do I prevent sexual harassment from happening? 

Knowing how to prevent occurrences of sexual harassment and discriminatory behavior is critical in today's world. 

In our Sexual Harassment Awareness training seminars your employees will learn and apply the important skills of handling sexual harassment issues and complaints. This hands on seminar thoroughly addresses the elements of how to prevent unacceptable behavior. The seminar includes a detailed overview of what sexual harassment is, explains legal definitions, discusses sexual harassment prevention, and shows how to handle sexual harassment complaints and maintain a positive work environment.

Participants will learn to take action and diffuse potential sexual harassment issues before they occur. Our sexual harassment awareness seminars are highly participatory and focus directly on improving skills to handle any sexual harassment issue or complaint with greater confidence.

Pennsylvania: Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Harrisburg-Hershey

Philadephia

Philadelphia is nationally recognized as the birthplace of the United States. The Declaration of Independence was signed and created in Philadelphia and this is reflected in many of the city's attractions and buildings. Activities in Philadelphia consist of various outdoor pursuits, such as the horse drawn carriage rides provided by the Philadelphia Carriage Company.

Pittsburgh

Steel and coal may have built this city, and you'll see the names "Mellon" and "Carnegie" on an awful lot of things, but Pittsburgh has come a long way from its gritty, industrial past. The Waterfront Complex, a collection of shops, restaurants, a movie theatre and even a water park, was recently built on the site of the former Bethlehem Steel Works, and two new professional sports stadiums have opened downtown in just the past two years.

Harrisburg-Hershey

From thrilling rollercoaster rides at Hersheypark to a relaxing riverboat cruise down the Susquehanna River on The Pride Of The Susquehanna . . . from an evening at the Harrisburg Senators ballpark to a night at the Harrisburg Symphony . . . from a tour on a 1920's railroad train to a City Island carriage ride . . . from antique shows to outlet stores, South Central Pennsylvania offers a variety of attractions.
