LGBTQ-Based Harassment in the Workplace

In California, LGBTQ-based harassment can accept many forms and have serious repercussions for employees.

Examples can include, but are not limited to:

Derogatory or offensive comments about your sexual orientation or gender identity
Exclusion from preferred social groups
Being assigned less favorable tasks based on biases or stereotypes
Repeated misgendering
Pressure to conform to traditional gender norms
Being passed over for promotions, additional teaching, or career advancement

Such conduct contributes to a hostile serve environment, impairing the affected employee's ability to perform effectively.

Our legal team recognizes the profound impact harassment can possess on mental health and job act. We work diligently to address these issues quickly and effectively, providing victims with the legal pathway to look for justice. Addressing harassment requires a comprehensive approach; therefore, we also collaborate with diversity and inclusion experts to expand strategies that promote understanding and respect in workplaces across California.
