HARASSMENT IN
ENGINEERING
BY STEPHEN NICELY

FORMS OF HARASSMENT
• There are many forms of workplace harassment such as:
• Sexual
• Verbal
• Emotional
• Physical
• Cyber
• Indirect

HARASSMENT HURTS
• Harassment is like spreading a virus
through our workplace.
• Our workplace needs to be a safe
environment.
• Keeping our environment clean is our
responsibility, so let’s do a great job!

DAMAGING TO THE WORKPLACE
• If we would not do it at home, do not do
it at work.
• Harassment hurts the workplace; it
hinders our ability to produce quality
work.
• Work to build the company up, do not
work destroy it.

OUR WORK IS LIKE OUR HOME
• We spend most of our lives in this
environment, so it is our responsibility to
work together to keep it a healthy home.
• Even at work we need our personal
space.
• We work to build our home up, not work
to tear it down.

A CLEAN HOME IS A HAPPY HOME
• Harassment clutters the home we call the
workplace.
• We have a moral obligation to help
others and keep our workplace clean.
• All harassment will leave a stain that is
not easy to get out.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT
• There is more to us than our sexual orientation.
• We all work towards our own goals; we do not need to demean others to achieve ours
faster.
• We need to work like a team, and not separate the players.

WE ARE EQUALS
• Humans are humans, our sex does not define our actions.
• Sex is not something that defines our worth.
• Our actions build our company, not being a man or woman.

EVERYONE BREATHS THE SAME AIR
• Let’s keep our air clean, words hurt.
• We are all created equal, so be fair to one another.
• No one is better than another.

ITS NOT ALWAYS FUNNY
• Just because we said it in school, does not
mean we need to drag it to our adult life.
• We are all professionals; it does not matter
if we are male or female.
• We all face hardships; we do not need
more to bring us down.

HARD WORK DESERVES GREATER REWARD
• It does not matter who puts in the effort, it still deserves to be recognized.
• Work is work, and we are all here to do it, why should it matter who did it?
• If we put in the effort, shouldn’t we be treated the same as another.

VERBAL HARASSMENT
• We tend to say things we do not mean, so we need to be careful.
• Just because it does not physically affect another, does not mean it does not hurt.
• Our words spread faster than we expect.

WORDS HURT
• We are not only responsible for our actions, but our words as well.
• It is just as damaging to hear something than it is to physically feel something.
• Our words are our weapons, so use them to protect others.

TONE CAN KILL
• It is not always what we say but how it
is said.
• We are authors of what we say.
• Our audience has their own
interpretations.
• We interpret things different, so we
need to think before we say anything.

ARE ALL JOKES REALLY JUST JOKES?
• Everything we say has truth in it.
• We act on what we know, so we should not say something that is not 100% true.
• Every day does not need to be all fun and games, we are here to work.

LIKE CUTTING BUTTER
• Words can hurt more than we
know.
• Our words are what build
empires, so be courteous.
• Something said is not always
something that needs heard.

EMOTIONAL HARASSMENT
• The mind is our palace, we need to keep it safe and secure.
• It is not always words and actions that can hurt, but our feelings as well.
• We are humans driven by our emotions.

DEPRESSION IS REAL
• Our mind is fragile, it only takes one bad seed of thought.
• Our emotions effect us in more than the workplace.
• We do not like to work when we are hurt.

ACTIONS CAN HURT EMOTIONALLY
• Touching someone effects more than the body, but the mind as well.
• We need to strengthen our team, not weaken them.
• Use healthy words not negative actions.

IF ITS NOT NEEDED, WHY SAY IT?
• Have you ever heard something that you did not like help you?
• Its not our responsibility to hurt others.
• Work as a team, not as enemies.

BE CONSTRUCTIVE, NOT DESTRUCTIVE
• Work towards building each other up, not
tearing each other down.
• We need a healthy constructive environment
to enhance ourselves.
• It is our obligation morally to help others not
bring them down.

PHYSICAL HARASSMENT
• Physical touch is never necessary in the workplace.
• We do not need to put our hands on everything we see.
• If its not yours do not touch it.

ITS NOT ALWAYS A PAT ON THE BACK
• Its thought to be nice, but a simple “Good job” would suffice.
• We can hurt in more than a physical way when someone touches us.
• Touching something that is not ours, can hurt just as much as touching the person.

LET’S NOT GET PHYSICAL
• Just because it was not hard, does not mean it did not hurt.
• Not everyone likes to be touched.
• Keeping things professional keeps us from being immoral.

WOULD YOU LIKE IT
• If someone touched you, would you like it?
• Physical touch is not appropriate with our
peers.
• Let’s ask before we make assumptions.

PROXIMITY IS PERSONAL
• Let’s keep a distance, we do not need to always hug each other.
• Everyone has personal space, do not encroach on it.
• The workplace is no place for horseplay.

CYBER HARASSMENT
• The online world is vaster than we can imagine.
• Our cyber world has just as much influence in our real world than we may think.
• Messages can find their way to the wrong recipient.

IF IT CAN’T BE SAID, IT DOES NOT NEED TYPED
• If you would not say it to them directly, it likely does not
need said.
• We should choose to be respectful, not only in person but
online.
• Reading something can hurt just as much as hearing it, if
not worse.

KEYBOARD VILLAINS
• Yes, its easier to say something when the person is not right in front of us.
• Just because it’s a chat box, does not mean another human being will not read it.
• Why not be a hero and help others.
• Villains always lose.

DON’T BE A GRUMPY TROLL
• We think its funny, but how do they
feel?
• Do not hinder another for personal gain.
• We need to work together, not alone.

SPREAD KINDNESS NOT CRUELTY
• We need to encourage others, not hinder them.
• Words will slow is down substantially.
• It is our responsibility to be morally positive.

WORK EXPANDS BEYOND OUR SOCIAL LIFE
• Just because it’s said outside of work does not mean it does not affect work.
• Everyone has life outside of work, so let's let them live theirs.
• Do we really need to spread negativity?

INDIRECT HARASSMENT
• Its not always told to us by the source.
• Words travel faster than we think.
• Sometimes it is more unprofessional to
hear it from others.

IF YOU CAN’T TELL THEM, DON’T TELL OTHERS
• We are responsible for our actions.
• Do not say something if it is not for the good of others.
• It only takes one word to change the tone,.

IF A TREE FALLS
• Just because you don’t tell someone directly, does not mean they will not hear it.
• Words have a way of being heard, regardless of who started it.
• It hurts no matter what, it does not matter what the “Intention” was.

THINGS GET OUT
• Eventually things will get out of hand.
• Everyone has an ear to the conversation.
• Have you ever “overheard” anything?

IT’S A TINY WORLD
• We are a small community; everyone has something to say.
• Intervening is not always the right thing to do.
• We are only human, and we do not always have the full story.

FIXING HARASSMENT
• It exists, so as a team its our responsibility to fix it.
• It takes one to start, but it takes a family to keep it going.
• We all need our personal space.

PLATINUM LAWS
• If you would not like to hear it yourself, do not say it to others.
• We need to focus on building a healthy family.
• Do not treat others differently, we are all human.

BUILD A FAMILY
• Use constructive words.
• Work toward a greater common goal.
• Improve efficiency.
• Step up to the occasion.

OUR WORK IS OUR HOME
• We almost spend more time at our workplace than we do at home awake.
• We do not need our family upset with us.
• Let’s keep our home clean, and our family happy.
