Sexual harassment can take verbal, visual, or physical forms and includes unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that affects work conditions or creates a hostile environment. There are three main forms - verbal, visual, and physical. Sexual harassment falls into two categories: quid pro quo, where sexual favors are requested in exchange for something, and hostile work environment, where conduct creates an offensive environment. Employees have a responsibility to tell harassers to stop, report any incidents witnessed or experienced, cooperate with investigations, and provide honest information.
