Which of the following describes conditions of sexual harassment?

  1. Promoting a positive work environment

  2. Unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance

  3. Offering rewards for compliance

  4. Encouraging open communication amongst staff

The correct answer is: Unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance

Unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance is a key characteristic of sexual harassment. This interference can manifest in various forms, such as creating a hostile or uncomfortable work environment, which impacts the ability of the targeted individual to perform their job effectively. Such actions undermine workplace productivity and can lead to emotional distress, making it vital for organizations to address and rectify these situations promptly. The other options focus on positive practices and policies within a workplace, which do not reflect the serious nature of sexual harassment or its behaviors. While promoting a positive work environment, offering rewards for compliance, and encouraging open communication are beneficial to fostering a healthy workplace culture, they do not align with the detrimental effects and actions characteristic of harassment.
