How to Report Workplace Harassment (Without Losing Your Job)
In this video, Mr. Fidlon discusses the best way to report workplace harassment, while avoiding job loss. He emphasizes that unlawful harassment targets an individual based on race, gender, religion, national origin, pregnancy, or disability, rather than generalized bullying. Victims should report incidents to Human Resources and a supervisor above the harasser's level, in writing, detailing the harassment and the targeted category. They should include factual details, such as time, location, and witnesses to allow the employer to conduct a thorough investigation. Mr. Fidlon notes that reporting harassment is a legally protected activity, and retaliation by the employer could give rise to a legal claim. He recommends that employees who believe they have been subjected to unlawful harassment or retaliation contact the Atlanta, Georgia hostile work environment lawyers at Fidlon Legal for a free case evaluation.
