This is unwanted conduct of any nature
which is unwelcome or offensive to the
recipient.
Each individual has personal boundaries.
Transgressing them goes beyond
behaviours which are of a socially
acceptable nature. Harassment is
behaviour which is unsolicited,
personally offensive and that fails to
respect the rights of others, in the
workplace. It lowers morale and
interferes with work effectiveness.
Sexual and racial harassment are
manifestations of a lack of respect for
an individual and are harassing
behaviours focused on gender and race.
Other harassment may relate to
disability, or focus on how members of
minority groups within the community are
individually treated within the
organisation.
