What Can You Do If You Are Being Harassed in the Workplace?
No matter what course of action is best for your case, keep a record of the incidents you have experienced. Take notes on all incidents you have experienced, who was involved and what was said. Keep copies of any harassing messages that you may receive. It is also important to keep a record if you experience any retaliation as a result of reporting your experience.
Look into your company’s anti-harassment policy if there is one available to you. If there is, get a copy to see if there is a process in place for making an internal complaint with your employer’s human resources department or with your supervisor. If you are lucky, reporting could be enough to end the harassment. Follow up after reporting the incident in an email so that you have a written record of the discussion.
In situations where you cannot bring charges of harassment to your supervisor – whether because you simply aren’t comfortable or because the person harassing you is in a position of power over you – you can still report the harassment. Even if you could not address the issue internally, you have the opportunity to file through Arizona’s Civil Rights Division (CRD) or the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
