Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when this conduct explicitly or implicitly affects an individual's employment, unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance, or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment.

Creating a culture of respect for the individual, no matter what their sex or sexual orientation, is an important component of having a healthy organizational culture.  Sexual harassment sends the wrong message about your organization and its mission.  Employees are hired for their ability to help your company accomplish its mission.  Every employee comes onto the job with great expectations of how they can contribute, and how they can become an important part of the organization.

An environment that tolerates sexual harassment, either explicitly or implicitly, is the sign of a dysfunctional culture. Beyond the obvious legal issues involved, there are many other outcomes. Productivity is impacted, there is a loss of trust in the organization, individuals feel humiliated, bullied, objectified, etc. In other words, the outcomes of working in a sexually hostile work environment lead to not only many problems for the organization, but also for the individuals involved.

Sometimes creating a work environment that is sexually charged is accidental. Some employees, supervisors, or managers, are just not aware they are doing something that could be interpreted by another person as harassment. Sometimes employees who are being harassed just brush it off – they are not aware of the impact that it has on them on and off the job. Employees observing someone being sexually harassed are often not sure what to do about it, or what their responsibilities are in such situations. They often do not understand the outcomes, or how those outcomes impact the person(s) being harassed. Once someone has experienced sexual harassment, they often do not know how can they be helped, and how they can help themselves. Sexual harassment can lead to very serious consequences in morale, time, productivity, and legal defense expenses.
