Most of us cannot do our work without interacting with other people. Effective communication is usually part of the job, and cooperation can be essential. When interaction, communication and cooperation are hindered in some way the workplace can become "toxic" and threaten our sense of well-being. Feelings of stress, frustration and anger can boil to the surface. Attendance, productivity, quality and safety often suffer.

Video Transcript
Even if you think you understand your co-worker’s sense of humor, you just never know when something you meant to be funny it’s going to be taken in a wrong way. Harassment is painful to its victims it’s human nature that want to fit in, no one like to single out for negative reason. If you’re offended by someone’s comments or actions talk to them, tell them the specific behavior that bothers you and ask them to stop. If the behavior continues or if you don’t feel comfortable approaching the person talk to your human resources manager or follow your company’s guidelines for reporting harassment and an investigation should follow.
