Sexual Harassment at work - Compliance Training for Australian Business Course - Lesson Excerpt

**If sexual harassment occurs in the workplace, it has consequences for all those involved. ** Much like workplace bullying and discrimination, workplace sexual harassment can affect people in a number of ways, resulting in psychological distress such as anxiety, panic attacks, low self-esteem and depression.

Physical responses to workplace sexual harassment can include illness, muscular tension, headaches, digestive problems and sleep disturbance.

Workplaces also experience the effects with a reduction in motivation and productivity, increased absenteeism, taking of more sick leave and a negative impact on the overall culture.

If you experience (or witness) sexual harassment at work, there are steps you can take.

If you see or hear sexual harassment in the workplace, you are a bystander and you too play a role in reducing the harm of the sexual harassment. Ways you can help: Report any sexual harassment you see or hear about If someone tells you they have been sexually harassed, listen to them and help them take steps to stop the sexual harassment.
