What is Workplace Harassment?

Workplace harassment occurs when an employee suffers systematic harassment from superiors, colleagues, or even third parties associated with the company. This harassment can include:


  • Psychological harassment: humiliation, insults, constant criticism, or social isolation.
  • Sexual harassment: unwanted propositions, offensive sexual comments or innuendos.
  • Workplace discrimination: unequal treatment based on gender, race, religion, age, or disability.
  • Threats or coercion: undue pressure to perform tasks outside your role or threats of dismissal.


These situations seriously affect the mental, physical and professional health of the worker and are illegal according to Spanish and European regulations.
