Workplace Harassment & Silence - Silence in the workplace normalizes uncomfortable moments, allowing small issues to escalate into larger problems [1] - Existing Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) laws are underutilized because employees fear the repercussions of reporting incidents [1] - Small incidents, like inappropriate jokes or uncomfortable messages, contribute to a culture of silence [1] - Breaking the silence, even with a small act of support, can create a safer environment for others [1] Solutions & Actions - Individuals can interrupt uncomfortable situations and support those affected, fostering a safer environment [1] - POSH aims to ensure workplaces are safe, focusing on power dynamics, consent, and respect, not preventing kindness or compliments [1] - Addressing workplace safety depends on individual actions and refusing to remain silent [1]
