Harassment at work
Sexual harassment can include unwanted conduct of a sexual nature that violates dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating, or offensive environment. Employers may investigate under grievance or disciplinary policies.
Sensitive exits
Some employees prefer a confidential exit via settlement rather than a long process. Financial and non-financial terms—support, counselling references, announcements—can be negotiated.
Support and records
Keep a careful chronology. Specialist advisers can help balance confidentiality with your wellbeing and future career.
