Workplace Harassment

Harassment can be based on a variety of factors such as race, sex, and disability. Experiencing uncomfortable situations in the workplace may be more than an offence against an individual. It can be a crime committed against the law, which is why the topic of workplace harassment has become a very important conversation for every organization to have.
