- Report the harassment: The first and most important step is to report the harassment to the appropriate person or authority. This could be your manager, human resources department, or a higher-up in the company.
- Document the harassment: Keep a record of all incidents of harassment, including dates, times, what was said or done, and the names of any witnesses. This will help you build a strong case if you need to take legal action.
- Seek support: Talk to someone you trust, such as a friend, family member, or therapist. They can provide emotional support and help you navigate the situation.
- Seek legal advice: Consult with an attorney who specializes in employment law. They can advise you on your rights and legal options.
- Follow up: Make sure that your complaint is being taken seriously and that appropriate action is being taken.
- Take time off if necessary: If the harassment is affecting your mental health, consider taking time off from work to focus on your well-being.
- Consider mediation: Mediation can be a helpful way to resolve workplace conflicts. A mediator can facilitate a conversation between you and the person who harassed you to find a mutually agreeable solution.
- File a complaint with a government agency: If the harassment violates anti-discrimination laws, you can file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or your state’s fair employment practices agency.
- Look for a new job: If the harassment continues or the workplace culture is toxic, you may want to consider looking for a new job.
- Take care of yourself: Above all, prioritize your own well-being. Make sure you are getting enough rest, exercise, and healthy food. Engage in activities that bring you joy and help you relax. Don’t let the harassment define you or take over your life.
