Laws On Sexual Harassment In The Workplace
Q: How do men handle sexual harassment in the workplace?
A male co-worker of mine gets visibly uncomfortable when a female member of staff overtly flirts with him. He seems so afraid of her that he never wants to be alone with her.
How do men handle situations like this in the workplace? Do you file a sexual harassment report with HR?
A: Most of the advice on this question shows a lack of common sense and knowledge of a business workplace. The best thing for the guy to do is to be a man and tell the woman nicely that her actions aren't welcome. If that does't work, then the situation could be harassment and he needs to talk with his supervisor or HR. The short term tension resolves a long-term problem of team morale, his long-term discomfort, and may prevent this from happening to someone else. Anyone who has worked in business long enough has seen one person destroy the whole morale of the office, that's what this woman is doing, and he needs to stop it.
