What Is Workplace Harassment?
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) broadly defines harassment as unwelcome behavior, which can be either verbal or physical.
Two different kinds of treatment can constitute harassment.
- Harassment severe or pervasive enough to create an uncomfortable or fearful work environment is hostile. A hostile work environment can be created by someone in management, a co-worker, or even a customer.
- Harassment changes the victim's employment status or benefits (e.g., a demotion, wrongful termination, denial of promotion). This type of harassment can sometimes be quid pro quo harassment. Quid pro quo is a Latin phrase "this for that." Given that the nature of this type of harassment affects an employee's status or benefits, it is most often inflicted by those in management positions.
