Sexual Harassment: Chartrand .Vanderwell Contractors Ltd. The definition of Sexual harassment in the AHRC is a form of forced unwanted sexual behaviour: verbally, and physically. The effects of this type of harassment infringes the rights of a person. In reference to a workplace: an employee’s position is threatened, elimination of any promotions/salary increases; reduces chances of employment.
One of the first things that needs to be addressed before any policies are put into place are how are violations reported and what happens when violations are reported? Violations can be reported in various methods. A person can call a toll-free number to report the violation. The violation can be reported via email or dropped in an ethics “drop box”. The final way an ethics violation can be reported is directly to immediate supervisor, department head, human resources person or member of the compliance team.
A workplace is not supposed to be an environment one fears going to, but women, especially mothers, must endure it to bring in income for their families. As stated previously, men as harassers feel entitled to have control in public spaces whether they are professional spaces or not. Places in education, government, and business cannot be completely avoided by all women and young girls. Whether it is day or night, walking home or taking transportation heavily impacts both women and young girls. Some may feel intimidated, threatened, or have a sense of harm.

When analyzing the situation over, Shirley does make me want to file a formal complaint to my boss. In a work area and as a female I would not feel comfortable having co- workers making crude sexual comments about employees, making sexist jokes and sharing sexual graphics amongst each other on their phones. Since the organization is formal, meaning that this organization contains a bureaucracy in which a phenomenon is defined by policies and guidelines. In establishing a formal complaint, it will therefore be in the right steps in following the company’s bureaucracy, despite the good aspects the nature of this case will be shown on the negative in the form of punishment of this case. When the punishment was established I would have to disagree on whether it was the right punishment for them, and therefore recommend a different form such as warnings and write-ups.
Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, businesses have a right to provide a work environment that protects employees from sexual harassment. In addition, even though federal law, Title VII is known predominantly for prohibiting workplace discrimination and harassment on the basis of an individual’s race, religion, color, national origin and sex; however, over the years, Title VII extended to include sexual discrimination such as sexual harassment. In view of that, managerial employees and supervisors should take immediate action when complaints of sexual harassment are brought to their attention so as to prevent further harassment and other preventable actions such as physical force to address unwelcomed sexual attention. Furthermore,
Maintaining staff training schedules weekly and monthly and maintaining the quality of work needed that service levels will be reached as defined.

Sarah Begley 12 December 2017 Sexism in the Workplace holds Women Back A workplace in today’s society is constantly developing and reconfiguring its ways. It is full of advancements that look to improve and expand its model to achieve greater success.

1. Erin McNamara, an employee of the Barrera Recycling Company, had approximately six or seven verbal reprimands from her superior and General Manager, Rafael Gomez. These reprimands were in response to McNamara's work performance and lack of ability to follow safety standards that are required by the company.

Sexual harassment and sexual assault are very serious issues happening today in the workplace. Women or men have suffered from unsolicited sexual behaviors that are typically provoked by someone “higher” in position. “Sexual harassment especially has been a fixture in the workplace since women began to work outside their homes” (Fitzgerald, 1993). It is solely the responsibility of the employer to ensure that all employees within are aware and are very cautions of laws, misconduct, and liabilities. Employers must enforce the Policy Prohibiting Discrimination and further extend those laws and guidelines to their employees.
Sexual harassment is identified as any unwelcome and unwanted sexual advances, verbal or physical behavior of sexual nature and requesting for sexual favours due to which a worker’s performance is affected, he/she suffers from psychological trauma or an offensive/hostile atmosphere is created at the workplace. The occurrence of workplace sexual harassment is linked with several risk factors. The nature of job and particularly the gender ratio at a workplace and traditionally male oriented jobs are among the significant ones. These pose an increased risk for women to face situations of getting sexually offended or harassed.
