What is Workplace Harassment? Examples You Should Know

Workplace harassment is not limited to physical behavior. It includes any inappropriate act that causes discomfort, fear, or humiliation. Examples include:

✔ Repeated personal or vulgar comments
✔ Sexist jokes, insults, or inappropriate gestures
✔ Unwanted touching or physical proximity
✔ Sending offensive messages, memes, or images
✔ Asking for personal favors in exchange for work benefits
✔ Threats, manipulation, or emotional pressure
✔ Harassment through social media or WhatsApp

❗ “Just joking” or “casual behavior” is NOT an excuse if the other person feels uncomfortable.

If you feel unsafe or disrespected, it is valid and reportable.
