The legislation that was passed in May to combat workplace harassment makes it the responsibility of employers to prevent harassment within their firms. In order to ensure that this policy is enacted appropriately, it is crucial to define what constitutes harassment. The ministry has produced a draft, which will be reviewed by a number of parties before it passes. In the original draft, the labor ministry describes numerous categories of harassment with each category containing concrete examples of what is and is not considered power harassment.
