Employer Sexual Harassment

sexual harassment attorneysSexual harassment is a caustic workplace event. Workplace sexual harassment is demoralizing to the victim of sexual harassment. It is embarrassing for managers and supervisors of the sexual harassment, and typically the employee who is involved in the sexual harassment investigation. A healthy workplace requires employees to be able to openly communicate and not be afraid of each other. Once sexual harassment has occurred, the dynamic changes. The victim of sexual harassment no longer feels comfortable. The Harasser is angry he or she has been called out for their conduct. Many times harassers become defensive towards those who accused them and the investigators of the sexual harassment. Retaliation is also a common issue related to sexual harassment. The retaliation may be real, or it may be imagined.

Fears of retaliation, embarrassment, and the uneasiness of having to work at the same place discourages many sexual harassment victims from complaining. However, if the victim fails to report coworker sexual harassment in most cases the company is not liable for the sexual harassment. Only if somebody else complained about the same coworker's conduct might the company be liable for a non-supervisor or manager's sexual harassment. On the brighter side of things, a lot of sexual harassment does stop once the victim complains.
