Workplace harassment remains a critical issue that undermines employees’ safety, well-being, and productivity. At Rogers & Company Professional Corporation, we are dedicated to addressing these concerns by offering expert guidance and support to cultivate a harassment-free environment.
Types of Workplace Harassment
- Verbal Harassment: Comments that belittle or insult based on race, gender, or other personal attributes are verbal Harassment. Often dismissed as jokes, such remarks can significantly impact an employee’s morale.
- Physical Harassment includes unwanted physical contact or intimidating gestures that invade personal space without physical contact.
- Psychological Harassment: Tactics like isolation, relentless criticism, and spreading rumours that destabilize an employee’s mental health constitute psychological Harassment.
- Sexual Harassment: Inappropriate jokes, suggestive comments, or any sexually charged conduct falls under this category, whether or not it involves physical touch.
- Digital Harassment: Using digital platforms to intimidate, bully, or belittle colleagues forms what is known as digital Harassment.
