Helping Sexual Harassment Victims Assert Their Rights

The workplace should be a relatively comfortable environment to be in. While it might now always be enjoyable, the workplace should be a safe place to work in. This goes beyond safety standards that focus on the health of employees and the reduction of dangers and risks that could cause injuries. Employers are also required to provide a workspace that is free from harassment. Unfortunately, some employees experience unwanted conduct. In other words, they are victims of sexual harassment.
