One of the ways in which an employee can be harassed at their workplace is through physical threats. Under physical threats, the employee is told that something bad will befall upon them because of something they are doing or just because of some misunderstanding. When this occurs the employee can seek legal action against the perpetrator of the physical threats.
Under the many types of workplace harassment, one of them is intimidation. This type of harassment usually exist most of the time between senior staff and junior staff. A senior employee may become jealous of junior staff and due to this they may seek on how to make their work hard in the organisation by intimidating them since they are of a higher power than them in the hierarchy of command. When an employee faces intimidation from someone within the organisation they can go forward and report the matter because intimidation is not accepted by law.
Physical assault is another type of workplace harassment that exists in the workplace. This is not strange because we have encountered cases of people that have been beaten by their employers while doing their work. One, therefore, has to understand that this is unacceptable and in the event, they are physically assaulted by their employer or any senior person in the workplace environment they can always seek legal action against the individual for doing so.
Name-calling is another type of workplace harassment that they are is. This type of workplace harassment is the one where an individual is given a name that does not match him or her so that it disturbs the person. A victim of name-calling in any organisation should understand that this is not acceptable by law and therefore in the event, a person nicknames them they should seek legal action against the individual so that they stop calling them by those names.
One of the many workplace harassment actions that exist is mockery. This is where the efforts of an individual are being downplayed and trashed upon by other colleagues or even by the employer. In the event that one falls victim of mockery he or she can seek for legal action against the people that mock him or her so that they stop doing so.
One of the many types of workplace harassment that exist is interference with performance at work. We live in a man eat man society and also in our workplaces there are people who usually are jealous of the efforts that other people put in their work and therefore they devise ways of how to interfere with their work so that they do not perform well and end up not getting the promotion or their eyes that they have been working for. When an individual notices this type of acts that have been done against him or her she can seek legal action against the individual or individuals that have perpetrated the act.
