Case Studies Summary

That wraps up the case studies portion of this module. And while we’ve used “gray areas” to help gauge whether certain conduct violates policy or meets legal definitions of harassment, sexual harassment, and discrimination, we strongly suggest steering clear of the gray areas completely. If you question what you are about to do, say, or imply, in any way, just don’t do it.

We hope the case studies helped clarify what is and isn't sexual harassment and given you some very practical insight into how best to promote and maintain a respectful workplace.
