What Is Sexual Harassment at Work?
Many think workplace sexual harassment is obvious and easily recognized. While that may be true of the most overt types of behavior, there are other behaviors that are just as harmful. Some employees are maybe unaware that they have experienced sexual harassment or that they have engaged in harassing conduct.
Sexual harassment in the workplace includes behaviors and activities such as the following and others not mentioned:
- Unwanted sexual advances, touching, or physical contact of any kind
- Leering or staring at someone, whether intended to make them notice or not
- Making sexual jokes or derogatory comments, whether specifically directed at someone or not
- Displaying sexually suggestive imagery on computer backgrounds, calendars, mouse pads, etc.
- Making sexually explicit or obscene gestures
- Commenting about someone’s body or appearance and other offensive comments
- Offering workplace incentives in exchange for sexual favors
- Sexual assault

Understanding Quid Pro Quo Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment that involves the exchange of sexual favors for workplace incentives is known as quid pro quo sexual harassment. It is illegal for an employer or supervisor to require sexual favors from an employee as a condition for an incentive.
Incentives can be considered anything that the employee wants, be it a raise, promotion, or placement on a special project. However, incentives can also involve promises of avoiding certain situations, such as a layoff or enduring future mistreatment.
In situations such as the latter, the victim of sexual harassment may be able to bring a retaliation lawsuit against the employer. All unlawful activity at work must be mitigated without conditions placed upon the employee.
