3. Sexual harassment in the workplace is a very pressing issue in today’s times. The inequality of the male and female genders and the chasing nature of male to females has created a dangerous situation in the workplace. The pursuing of a co-worker that is not interested can easily be considered sexual harassment with attempts at different displays of affection and intimacy. Sexual harassment is unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and conduct of sexual nature. The laws of the workplace are now designed to prevent the actions from taking place by the harshness of the consequences. In my organizational history, I have not worked in organizations, which are more likely to promote sexual harassment, and would be uncomfortable in such an organization.
