Harassment means to trouble, worry or torment someone on a persistent basis. The important phrase here is “on a persistent basis.” Usually, a one-time offense is not considered harassment in the eyes of the law. This means that it's your responsibility to say something if you are offended or if you feel that someone's actions have crossed the line.

Inappropriate touching in the workplace - regardless of gender - is any unwelcome, non-consensual physical contact that violates personal boundaries and creates a hostile work environment. It can range from groping and massaging to holding hands and hugging. Inappropriate touching can be considered sexual harassment when it is severe or pervasive, meaning that it is either very serious or happens frequently. Do you know what to look out for when it comes to potential harassment?

You already know this but... Quid Pro Quo is the most blatant form of workplace sexual harassment. Simply put, it means “this for that.” Quid Pro Quo occurs when employment decisions such as hiring, promotions, salary increases, work assignments or performance evaluations are based on an employee’s willingness to grant or deny sexual favors.

Under federal law, discrimination based on sexual orientation is prohibited. Additionally, many states and local jurisdictions have laws that offer extra protections against harassment and discrimination based on both perceived and actual sexual orientation. In these areas, such behavior can lead coworkers to face legal consequences, including potential hostile environment harassment lawsuits.

Communication is essential when it comes to the workplace. So, addressing miscommunication quickly and respectfully is key to maintaining our workplace relationships. When we have generational differences, it’s easy to have misunderstandings and miscommunication… because we won’t all communicate in the same way. To be inclusive, we must be willing to listen to others and their perspectives and make adjustments with the intention of staying connected… especially as we cross generations.

Work-life balance and general well-being is something all of us want in the workplace. The perfect balance between work and life varies for each person and it changes depending upon our life circumstances. Well-being is fundamental to our health and overall happiness. That includes a healthy work-life balance. New generations in the workplace see well-being as an integral part of their lifestyle.

Each of our different experiences and expectations are why learning to communicate across generations is so important. The reality is that each generation comes with its own rules for the workplace. Using the M.E.E.T.® approach is like having a coach helping us through the process. That way we create shared understanding, new agreements, and clear expectations.
