Workplace Harassment

Managing the risk of Harassment at the workplace is becoming increasingly important following substantial damages awards against employers.

A person is subjected to ‘workplace harassment’ if the person is subjected to repeated behaviour, other than behaviour amounting to sexual harassment, by a person, including the person’s employer or a co-worker or group of co-workers of the person that -
(a) is unwelcome and unsolicited; and
(b) the person considers to be offensive, intimidating, humiliating or threatening; and
(c) a reasonable person would consider to be offensive, humiliating, intimidating or threatening.
