 Sexual Harassment Program – The Equal Employment Opportunity Office provides quality services to applicants, employees, patients and visitors with any sexual harassment concerns or complaints.  Sexual Harassment on the job is any unwelcome sexually oriented behavior, demand, comment or physical contact, initiated by any individual at the workplace, that is a term or condition of employment, a basis for employment decisions, or that interferes with the employee’s work or creates a hostile or offensive working environment.  Sexual harassment on the job is illegal under GMHA policy, Federal and Local Laws.
