Week 9-EOC Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is not something you can take lightly. Its a serious issue and if its not taken care as soon as possible, things can get really ugly. Sexual harassment can take place anywhere at anytime. Sexual harassment is most common in the workplace and school.I personally believe that it is most common in the workplace because of blackmail.
Sexual harassment. This harassment can happen anywhere but is most common in the workplace (and schools). It involves unwelcome words, deeds, actions, gestures, symbols, or behaviors of a sexual nature that make the target feel uncomfortable. Gender and sexual orientation harassment fall into this form of harassment.(Human Resource Management in Hospitality Management, pg. 339).
If it was not for the EEOC, things would be a lot worse then they are now. We now have policies and producers in place that don't allow sexual harassment to happen. We have certain things in place that also allow us to take legal action.
In 1980, the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (EEOC) issued regulations defining sexual harassment and stating that it was a form of sexual discrimination prohibited by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Human Resource Management in Hospitality Management, pg. 339).  
With policy in place like zero tolerance, we can finally take the proper action when sexual harassment happens. I don't think we never have sexual harassment, but now we can fight those who feel they can put us in the kind of position. 
Zero tolerance: A policy that permits no amount of leniency regarding harassing behavio(Human Resource Management in Hospitality Management, pg. 340).
