Definition of Harassment. Harassment can be defined as any unwelcome or unwanted action by any person against another, in particular by management or a co- worker. It can be verbal or physical action on a single or repeated basis, which humiliates, insults, degrades or threatens. "Unwelcome" or "unwanted" in this context means any actions, which the harasser knows or ought reasonably to know, are not desired by the victim of harassment. Harassment is an expression of perceived power and superiority by the harasser(s) over another person, usually for reasons over which the victim has little or no control.
