Environmental sexual harassment
“Hostile environmental sexual harassment” involves creation of an offensive work environment for a certain employee by another person who makes unwelcome sexual advances, requests sexual favors, or engages in physical or verbal behavior of a sexual nature.
Nowadays, the Supreme Court has decided that it would not completely depend on the two forms of sexual harassment “quid pro quo” and “hostile environment” for judgment because it thought that the two forms were of “limited utility” in determining the employer’s role.
Hence, it has become evident that an employee who sues for sexual harassment would no longer have to show a loss of advancement, retaliation, loss of income, or stress as they were once supposed to show under “quid pro quo” and “hostile environment”. The only thing that the employees have to show now is that they felt discriminated due to the sexual content they experienced.
