24. (d) The above acts would result in an
intimidating, hostile, or offensive
environment for the employee

25. Heads and supervisors are
the front line when it comes to
managing employee performance
and needs from work.

26. First, and most importantly,
you do not want a
workplace culture
that allows any form of
harassment to occur.

27. In harassment cases,.. we
as chief of our local posts,
demonstrating that we are
taking the appropriate ste
is crucial.

28. To deter sexual harassment
in the workplace, the law
makes it the duty and
responsibility of employers
and heads to do the following:

33. •The harasser can be anyone, such as the
boss, a supervisor, a co-worker, a teacher or
professor, a student, or a friend.
•The victim does not have to be the person
directly harassed but can be anyone who
finds the behavior offensive and is affected
by it.

41. You in Danger of Getting Charged wi
However, there is a limit to
everything, especially in the
workplace.
.

42. You in Danger of Getting Charged wi
. If you’re incredibly careless and
tactless about the way words leave
your tongue or the way you deal
with others physically, you could be
on the receiving end of a sexual
harassment charge.

47. #3, Some people can’t help
looking good and many of them
might even go through certain
pains just to achieve a certain
look. However, their bodies are
nobody’s business, including
yours.

48. #4, There are still people
who are very sensitive
when it comes to the
subject of sex.

49. #5, The kind of office
culture or environment
you work in will also factor
in the complaint.

51. Workplaces have policies
covering sexual harassment.
If a talk or presentation is
being given, pay attention.

52. Many complaints regarding
sexual harassment involve a
superior and a subordinate. If
you happen to be the boss, don’t
use your power or authority to
encourage sexual innuendos.

53. If you are in a position of authority
and have a low level of self-respect,
it will be very easy for you to use
whatever power it is you think you
have to abuse someone else. One
of the ways you can do this is to ask
someone for sexual favors.

54. So maybe there’s this one person at
the office who’s your favorite for
some reason. If you must truly tell
a dirty joke or story, don’t single out
a single person – unless of course,
you’re good friends and know each
other very well.

55. There are some offices or workplaces
that are so filled with sexual innuendos
that it’s almost impossible to go through
one workday without hearing a single
green joke. This is usually okay, as
long as people know and respect other
people’s boundaries.

56. If you absolutely must tell a dirty
or sexy joke or story, you might
want to use the third person.
Don’t single out someone, say
offensive or derogatory stuff
about them, their friends or
family.

57. In the workplace, certain areas of the body are
just simply off limits. Avoid staring at
someone’s cleavage, butt, crotch or legs. When
they’re talking, look them in the eye and don’t fix
your eyeballs on their mouths.
It would also help if you could keep your hands to
yourself. Being touchy-feeling by nature does not
excuse you from allowing your hands to land on
someone else’s hand, arm, back, chest,
shoulder, thighs or legs. ‘

58. There will always be a place in the world for
dirty jokes. Why? They appeal to our most
basic needs to laugh, be silly and take a peek
at something the rest of cultured society
holds sacred.
Not every person you meet will appreciate
your jokes. There are people who would
rather keep things a little tamer.

59. Admiration is one thing. Stalking is
another. If there’s someone at the office
you really like and would love to know
better, it’s okay to let your intentions known,
provided the coast is clear.
If you have a crush on someone and they
do not reciprocate your feelings, don’t feel
too bad.

60. Sexual harassment can be
difficult to prove, especially if it
becomes a he said/she said
event. To make sure you protect
yourself, do the following:

61. Say ‘No’ or
‘Stop it’ firmly
and loud
enough for
someone to
hear..

62. Express your
objection to the
person’s behavior
clearly and firmly
but avoid making
too much fuss
about it.

63. In case of an investigation,
you might come off as
unreliable or worse, prone to
exaggeration.

64. Don’t think it is your fault or that you
‘asked for it’.
Express your disapproval and be
clear about it. If the person asks you
why, tell them it makes you
uncomfortable and you don’t think it’s
appropriate behavior.

65. Document the event/s.
Write down the date, time,
place and witnesses to the
incident in detail. Use a
journal or a notebook and
keep it in a safe place.

66. Inform someone about what
happened.
Tell your closest confidant or friend at
the office. If the incident involved
touching, violence, psychological or
physical threats, do the same and then
go to your boss or supervisor. Don’t
turn the incident into office gossip.

67. File a complaint.
Surely the govt. has policies regarding
sexual harassment in the workplace.
Make sure to make the right steps. They
should be able to help you resolve this
problem.
If your case is ignored and you wish to
pursue it, then you might go to the police
and file a report. .

68. Our position and status
in our workplace is just
a matter of choice, it is
either you stay good
and well behaved to be
happy in the end or be
happy at first , and in
the end…. to stay
behind bars..
