Psychosocial Hazards – Harassment including Sexual Harassment
Harassment creates major psychological risks. Discover how to manage workplace harassment with Foremind.
Harassment due to personal characteristics such as age, disability, race, nationality, religion, political affiliation, sex, relationship status, family or carer responsibilities, sexual orientation, gender identity or intersex status.
Sexual harassment – any unwelcome sexual advance, unwelcome request for sexual favours or other unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature, in circumstances where a reasonable person, having regard to all the circumstances, would anticipate the possibility that the person harassed would be offended, humiliated or intimidated.
Harmful behaviour that does not amount to bullying (such as single instances) but creates a risk to health or safety.
Let’s Look at an Example
Kristy is a casual checkout operator at a small grocery store, it is her first proper job. Whilst at work her manager stares at her, touches her inappropriately and makes sexual jokes and comments. Kristy is afraid to be alone with him and asks to be taken off the evening roster. Kristy is terrified to go to work and experiences panic attacks and intrusive thoughts.
