Workplace Harassment and Bullying

Workplace harassment and bullying refer to repeated, unwanted behaviors that create a hostile work environment. Harassment may involve inappropriate comments, insults, or threats based on personal characteristics like gender, race, or disability. Bullying includes actions such as spreading rumors, undermining work, or intimidating coworkers. Both violate labor laws that protect employees from discrimination and maintain a safe workplace. Employers are responsible for addressing and preventing such behaviors to ensure a respectful and productive environment for all employees.
