Most supervisors can recognize cases of blatant sexual harassment – where, for instance, an employee makes a crude or threatening advance. Or where an employee touches another in a way that’s clearly out of bounds.

But what about those less obvious cases?

 

In this Quick Take you will learn:

  • The difference between “quid pro quo” and “hostile environment” sexual harassment
  • Why sexual harassment doesn’t need to target a specific person
  • How “victimless” sexual banter can trigger lawsuits
  • Why actions that are completely non-sexual in nature can be construed as sexual harassment and
  • The “reasonable person” standard for determining what is, and isn’t, sexual harassment.
