This informative program on sexual harassment is designed to stimulate discussion, raise awareness and find suitable solutions to the problems of sexual harassment in the health care environment. Six vignettes portray various sexual harassment situations, and explore the subtle, complex dilemmas that confront health care professionals. In today's workplace, most people recognize blatant sexual harassment but defining lines become blurred when it comes to the ambiguous, covert kinds of behavior that are often interpreted as sexual harassment. This program defines the difference between sexual harassment and gender discrimination, alerts employees to the kinds of sexual harassment that occur in the workplace and acknowledges subtle actions that may be contributors to a "hostile environment."
