Working in a hostile or abusive workplace can affect more than just your peace of mind. Ongoing harassment can lead to serious emotional stress and may also impact your physical health.

What Constitutes Workplace Harassment?
Workplace harassment can manifest in various forms and can originate from a supervisor, a manager, or even a coworker. While inappropriate conduct by an employer or someone in a leadership position is often clearly unlawful and easily identifiable, harassment from other employees also raises significant legal concerns if the employer fails to take appropriate action to address the behavior. When a company turns a blind eye to complaints, allows the inappropriate conduct to persist, or takes no meaningful steps to put an end to such behavior, employees may have sufficient grounds to pursue a legal claim against the employer.
No one should ever have to feel anxious, fearful, or unsafe simply going to work each day. Persistent harassment, unwanted advances, or bullying can create a toxic atmosphere and profoundly interfere with your ability to perform your job effectively and with confidence. Such an environment can lead to increased stress levels, decreased productivity, and a negative impact on overall well-being.

What Should I Do to Document Harassment?
Strong documentation can play an important role in a workplace harassment claim. If you experience harassment, try to keep detailed records of each incident. Note the date, time, location, what occurred, and the specific words or actions involved. Saving emails, messages, or other written communications can also be helpful.
It is often important to clearly communicate that the behavior is unwelcome and to report the conduct through the appropriate channels at your workplace. Be sure to document when you made the report and who received it. If anyone witnessed the incident, their names and contact information may also be valuable.
