Generally workplace sexual harassment refers to two common forms of inappropriate behaviour:
• Quid Pro Quo (literally ‘this for that’) – Implied or explicit promise of preferential/detrimental treatment in employment – Implied or express threat about her present or future employment status
• Hostile Work Environment – Creating a hostile, intimidating or an offensive work environment – Humiliating treatment likely to affect her health or safety.
