SEXUAL HARASSMENT
Policy Sexual harassment is unacceptable conduct, is illegal, and will not be tolerated in the
Pennsylvania National Guard.
Definition Sexual harassment is a form of gender discrimination that involves unwelcome sexual
advances, requests for sexual favors, and other unwanted verbal or physical conduct of a
sexual nature when (1) submission to such conduct is explicitly/implicitly a term or condition
of a person’s job, pay or career; (2) submission to/rejection of such conduct is used as a basis
for career or employment decisions affecting the individual; or (3) such conduct has the
purpose/effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work performance or creating
an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment. Sexual harassment comes in different
forms, such as:
Behavior • verbal behavior: unwelcome compliments, comments, suggestions, jokes, whistling, or
derogatory remarks based on sex;
• physical behavior: touching, grabbing, patting or pinching, repeatedly brushing against
someone’s body, cornering or blocking, or unsolicited back or neck rubs;
• nonverbal harassment: staring, blowing kisses, posting of sexually suggestive or derogatory
pictures, cartoons or drawings, even at one’s work station, or using any other media to
disperse items of a sexual nature.
Action If you believe that you or other members or employees have been sexually harassed, you are
encouraged to immediately identify the offensive behavior to the harasser and request that it
stop. If you are uncomfortable in addressing the matter directly to the harasser, or if you do
so and the behavior does not stop, then discuss the matter immediately with your supervisor
or one of the POCs listed on this poster. No member or employee will be discouraged from
filing a complaint or should fear retaliation for participating in a complaint.
