Topic 3
Hostile Environment
In this topic, you'll look at the second type of sexual harassment defined by Title 7 and the Supreme Court - the kind that occurs when there is such a negative working environment that an employee's productivity and well-being can be harmed.
You'll learn what this second type of harassment is called, and why it's often a pattern of behavior, how an employee's job performance may be affected, and what specific actions are prohibited.
That first kind of sexual harassment is called quid pro quo. What do you think the second, the less obvious kind is called?
first degree? No.
second degree? No.
abusive surroundings? Not quite.
quo pro quid? No.
hostile environment? Exactly, that's the title of this topic.
