Experiencing sexual harassment in the workplace is not only emotionally devastating, but it can also have a profound impact on your professional and personal life. Such behavior creates an unsafe environment that no one should have to endure. The Law Offices of Jeannette A. Vaccaro PC is here to help employees in Santa Rosa understand their rights, fight for justice and put an end to harmful workplace practices.Â
Workplace sexual harassment falls under two primary categories: quid pro quo harassment and hostile work environment harassment. Quid pro quo involves scenarios where favors are exchanged for professional rewards or jobs are threatened if demands are not met. Hostile work environment harassment occurs when unwanted behavior creates a toxic or intimidating atmosphere.Â
Examples of workplace sexual harassment include but are not limited to:
Sexual harassment often transcends the workplace, taking a toll on the victim’s emotional, physical and financial stability. Victims may feel anxious, isolated or depressed, leading to a decline in workplace performance and personal fulfillment. Physical symptoms like sleeplessness, headaches, or increased stress levels are also common.Â
On a professional level, victims may face retaliation, missed career advancements or job loss, compounding the difficulty of an already overwhelming situation. Many individuals hesitate to speak up due to fear of judgment, a lack of confidence in the system or concerns about job security. Unfortunately, silence only allows such toxic behaviors to perpetuate.Â
