  1. Digital Workplaces are not Immune to Sexual Harassment!

  2. Sexual Harassment In Digital Workplace Unfortunately, the internet is not an exception when it comes to women’s safety. 25% of young women report that they have been sexually harassed one time or the other online. Interaction via the internet is easy-flowing and less formal. The relative anonymity and non-confrontational nature of the internet, makes it easy – even if we pass a lewd comment or share something inappropriate with our colleague, we don’t have to face them the next morning! A new report from Kaspersky, on how the pandemic has taken a toll on the way people work, reveals that 51% of remote workers admitted watching adult content on the device they use for work. This, in turn, spikes the chances of sexual harassment in digital workplaces.

  3. Don’t Miss the Signs!! Online sexual harassment is any sexual misconduct carried out through a digital platform. It wears many colours. To keep them at bay and foster a safe working environment for employees, it is important that we understand what fits into the definition. Here are a few types of online sexual misconduct: ▪ Sexual Bullying ▪ Non-Consensual Image or Video Sharing ▪ Online Threats, Coercion, or Exploitation for Sexual Favours

  4. How to take Action? Digital sexual harassment is easier to prove than direct offenses. There is always some evidence, a digital footprint of the “act.” These are mostly immutable. But If you believe that you are being sexually harassed, always take screenshots/records of the interaction and save them on your personal drive as a precaution. There is a high possibility that the offender may delete it later. As a next step, report the issue to your Internal Committee. It is the IC’s duty to study the situation and ensure that justice is done. The PoSH Act 2013, which protects women from sexual harassment at their place of work, is applicable to digital environments as well. Here, the workplace can be any place visited by the employee during the course of employment. Telecommuting (work from home, making use of the internet, email, and telephone) is also covered under the PoSH law.

  5. As we are faced with various discrimination and/or harassment issues facing our organizations, paying close attention to the above will help us be more effective as human resources professionals. For more information visit: https://www.mud.co.in/posh/
