Title: Hostile work environment issues - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: Can negative work experiences really lead to reactions similar to trauma experiences, like war or sexual assault? A hostile work environment certainly could contribute. A hostile work environment is one in which the workplace is made intimidating, abusive, or offensive to an employee as a consequence of another’s conduct within it (e.g., inappropriate comments, remarks, or gestures; unwanted sexual attention) or because of characteristics of the setting (e.g., displays of distasteful, insulting, or otherwise inappropriate material). Employees should be able to come into a positive, healthy work environment each day. Unfortunately, many people struggle with hostile work environments. It’s important to understand what exactly a hostile work environment is and how to deal with the situation. Harassment in the workplace can take on many different facades. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
