What to do if you’ve experienced harassment in the work place

Document what happened. Send an email to your personal email address documenting what occurred.

Preserve any documents that show what happened.

Get a copy of the employer’s harassment policy. Review the section dealing with reprisal for making a complaint.

Seek legal counsel before you make a complaint. What happens in the early stages of a harassment complaint significantly impacts outcome.

If you’ve been contacted after being harassed or witnessing harassment, silence can be deemed to be acceptance.
