Whether intentionally or unintentionally, these remarks undermine the dignity and respect of individuals and can be a precursor to more severe forms of sexual harassment. 6.

Employees should feel comfortable setting their boundaries, and persistence beyond reasonable limits can indicate a problem. 7. Hostile or Intimidating Behavior: Sexual harassment can involve creating a hostile or intimidating work environment, leaving employees feeling unsafe or fearful.
