Harassment (all types)

In 1964, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act making harassment and discrimination against protected groups illegal.  The discriminatory workplace practices that had plagued organizations for years finally became illegal with the passage of this Act.  However, 50 years later harassment still occurs in the workplace.  The headlines are still full of cases of Sexual Harassment as well as harassment against the protected groups such as age or race. 

There are two types of workplace harassment.  The first, and more common, type of harassment occurs when there is a Hostile Workplace.  This occurs when comments or conduct within the work environment that are sexually offensive or offensive to a federally protected class become so pervasive that they interfere with an individual's ability to work effectively.  The second type of harassment can only be perpetrated by a person in a supervisory or managerial role and occurs when the behavior results in a tangible change in an employee’s work status like a promotion, demotion or termination.
