14 Sexual harassment at work occurs whenever unwelcome conducton the basis of gender affects a person s job. The two basic types of sexual harassment as defined by the law. A. quid pro quo (this for that) B. hostile environment Can a co-worker, who has no control over other workers employment, commit quid pro quo sexual harassment? Explain. No, quid pro quo sexual harassment can only be committed by someone who controls the victim s employment destiny.

15 Is asking (in the proper manner) a co-worker to go out on a date a form of sexual harassment? No, not as long as the invitation is presented in a civil manner and not knowingly unwelcome. List nine ways a sexually hostile work environment can be created. 1. Discussing sexual activities 2. Unnecessary touching 3. Commenting on physical attributes 4. Displaying sexual pictures 5. Using inappropriate terms 6. Using distasteful gestures 7. Alienating workers by gender 8. Granting job favors to those who participate in consensual sexual activity 9. Using offensive language

16 Courts now recognize the fact that men and women have different levels of sensitivity when it comes to behavior in the workplace. List six factors the courts often consider when they are determining whether or not a hostile environment was created 1. Whether the conduct was physical or verbal 2. How frequently the conduct was repeated 3. Whether the conduct was hostile and blatantly offensive 4. Whether the harasser was a coworker or a supervisor 5. Whether the harassment was by more than one person 6. Whether the harassment interfered with work performance

17 Due to the fact that legal boundaries concerning sexual harassment are so poorly drawn, what is the best course of action to follow in the workplace? Simply avoid all sexually offensive conduct. If you are trying to determine if your own conduct is proper, what is a good question to ask yourself? Would I act the same way if members of my family were present? Would I like to see members of my family treated in a similar manner? Only unwelcome conduct can result in sexual harassment.

18 When an advance by a coworker is unwelcome, how should the recipient respond? With an outright, clear concise rejection. If you are not interested let the other person know. When should incidents of sexual harassment be reported? Immediately (by reporting the situation, the victim can expect corrective action to be taken).
