And although the definition of sexual harassment may vary from one individual to another, organisations must be increasingly aware that form a legal perspective what constitutes harassing behaviour is up the person who feels threatened. So what defines a hostile environment needs to be analysed, and understood. The underlying theory seems to be that the harasser is attempting to get the victim to either quit, or screw up enough to get fired. However most cases are less explicit, and much more subtle. For this reasons employees and employers need to be aware of sexual harassment and the destruction it can cause.
