Sexual harassment is unacceptable conduct, is
illegal, and will not be tolerated in the
Pennsylvania National Guard. 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 persons 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 individuals work performance or creating
an intimidating, hostile or offensive work
environment. Sexual harassment comes in
different forms, such as verbal behavior
unwelcome compliments, comments, suggestions,
jokes, whistling, or derogatory remarks based
on sex physical behavior touching,
grabbing, patting or pinching, repeatedly
brushing against someones 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 ones
work station, or using any other media to
disperse items of a sexual nature. 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.
