What is Workplace Harassment?
The definition of workplace harassment is as follows: “Hostile or unwanted gestures, vexatious conduct, an attack on the dignity or integrity of a person, conduct that has a detrimental effect on the work environment.” For a situation to be classified as “harassment,” it must meet all these criteria.
Harassment also involves the idea of repetition. However, a single event can be deemed sufficiently severe and have the same consequences.
Workplace harassment can take several forms:
- Moral harassment
- Sexual harassment
- Cyber harassment
- Intimidation within a company
Harassment situations sometimes occur between colleagues or between an employee and a client.
35% of employees believe they have been victims of harassment after being made aware of the issue.
Who Has the Right to Conduct an Investigation to Gather Evidence for Moral Harassment?
Anyone who believes they are a victim of moral harassment at work can use the services of a private detective to prove the harassment they are experiencing. A client can also use an investigator’s services if they believe an employee has harassed them.
What Are the Possible Interventions of a Detective to Gather Evidence of Moral Harassment?
A private detective can conduct an administrative investigation and implement various field measures such as collecting testimonies, tailing, surveillance, or even infiltrating the workplace to gather evidence of the criminal offence of moral harassment.
Why Hire a Private Detective Agency in Case of Moral Harassment?
The private detective’s report can provide proof of a case of moral harassment at work, thereby putting an end to the harassment and allowing the victim to pursue criminal charges with confidence.
Do I Risk Legal Repercussions if Harassment Cannot Be Proven?
The European Court has recently ruled that individuals who report harassment in good faith should not face repercussions. In the case of Allée v. France, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that a person who reported harassment but could not prove it should not be fined for defamation, as they acted in good faith (see Allée v. France, January 18, 2024).
