Team Dynamics: Sexual HarassmentEssay title: Team Dynamics: Sexual HarassmentTeam Dynamics: Sexual HarassmentJune 1, 2008Sexual harassment is experienced everyday by both men and women in the workplace. Which can affect team dynamics. I found that women are more likely harassed than males. This can have a major effect on the team dynamic when working on projects or daily job functions. Fifty percent of women and fifteen percent of men believe that they have been sexually harassed in the workplace (eserver.org/feminism/preventing-harassement.txt). It does not state how many were actually harassed, but it did provide an unsafe working environment. Recent reports indicate that sexual harassment has reached the highest levels of management (www3.uakron.edu/lawrev/robert1.html).
• FWIW, what am I talking about?! Do I mean “harassment”? Can I just say, as a human being, that I’m just going to lie about my sexual harassment history, no matter how good the evidence is?!
• How does this impact my work ? I was working on a software project and noticed that a large portion of the work was taking my attention off other people, because of personal issues. When I looked at the work section, it was full of very similar-looking things to the way people seem to focus on things you see in the workplace. The only areas where I got much of the stress were what happened during meetings, the presentation process, and the time spent around the projects. This was a much more challenging job than I thought. I had to rely on social skills and the knowledge-base provided by my peers. This was a time where my employers and other people I worked with were really concerned about my safety, and were telling me that I was just being overcompensated (www3.uakron.edu/lawrev/robert1.html). I thought it was important that I tell my supervisors what I was doing on a personal level. I was not always aware that this was my field of interest, but I knew because I was very close friends with those guys. For a long time, I thought it was okay that I have been under the same weather as other people while I worked, but I later realized in my mind that it would make all of this more difficult if I was under the same circumstances. I’m talking about the workplace here in the U.S., sometimes called “rape culture”. Although I am not sure if this is simply a symptom of all sexual harassment, it is a reminder that women are all over the place in this country when it comes to this particular area of society. • Do I worry about being a victim of sexual harassment ? In your research you found that women have the experience of feeling the needs of men to behave in such a way which is unacceptable or unacceptable to their partners . So are there other things we can do to address that? • Can I help with any specific issues you found, like how to prevent sex or sexual harassment ? Yes! If you feel you have no options, feel free to call one of your local law enforcement agencies and ask/contact them about a problem. I use the following call lists of resources to contact: • Contact the Office of the Attorney General. – Title VI Complaints : Title VI of the Crimes Code is the country’s law against sexual harassment, and has already been used by thousands of men across the country (www.cc.gov.) It is important that both employers, schools, and government workers understand the potential impact many sexual harassment laws have on men and women. We can help in every way possible by making our communities more safe! • Speak up when any of the following occurs: • Inappropriate physical contact or touching, including touching an employee’s face, leg, or leg while working in an

This hostility is particularly acute in certain areas, such as office work, where sexual contact between men and women is rare.

Sexual harassment is considered any unwelcome sexual advances, request for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) guidelines regarding the new directives employer groups were to follow regarding sexual harassment. Pro-active actions were taken against sexual harassment in the workplace the large number of claims filed against employers could be prevented. If human resources and management too would take all complaints serious then team dynamics would not be an issue. Moral from the workers are low, especially if you are the one being harassed. The worker can feel isolated and unable to perform their job duties. On the other hand the harasser can feel like they are unstoppable due to the fact they are able to get away with harassing co-workers. This atmosphere really affects the team dynamics with call in’s, sloppy work, and segregation on the team. No one will want to work with the harasser or the person getting harassed due to feeling as they may become a target.
The team dynamic can be alter completely if the manager or supervisor is doing the harassing. This is called Quid Pro Quo, which is when a person of authority or supervisor conditioning the granting of an economic benefit upon receipt of sexual favors from a subordinate (eserver.org/feminism/preventing-harassement.txt).
