Quid Pro Quo Harassment Training

Quid pro quo is Latin for “something for something.” It occurs when anyone with authority in the workplace makes decisions that are based on an employee’s willingness to grant or deny romantic or sexual favors. For example, if you give me something that I want, I’ll give you something that you want. People experiencing this kind of sexual harassment find it hard to work or build relationships with peers, and they may deal with depression. In developed countries, including the U.S., there are laws that require sexual harassment training in order to reduce the prevalence of quid pro quo harassment.
