Disrespectful Behavior Can Lead to Illegal Harassment

When Does Disrespectful Behavior Cross the Line Into Illegal Harassment?

Imagine for a minute that everyone in your company is always on their best behavior. Respectful. Courteous. Non-confrontational.

We say "imagine" because this probably isn't your reality - just as it isn't for most HR professionals. Because sooner or later - even at the best companies - someone gets out of line and someone else takes offense to what was said or done. Maybe it's an off-color joke, a comment about someone's personal appearance, a political statement - it could be anything, really.

All you know is, someone went too far.

Now it's up to you to get the facts, defuse the situation and do your best to keep your company out of legal hot water.

For instance, have you ever wondered:

How do I determine if someone's behavior is disrespectful or crosses the line into harassment?

When situations like this arise, it's helpful to have a source, like Alternative HR, you can go to for quick answers to common questions.
