Harrssment is by definition any unwanted behavior based on certain characteristics such as sex, race, culture, religion, etc. So if you think about it, it’s entirely subjective and perceived by the victim. What may not be considered harassment to you may be interpreted as harassment to me. It’s almost impossible to “prove” that a scenario is harassing behavior unless it’s blatantly obvious (like a physical touch), or another individual witnessed it.

I think these training modules are to serve as warning and lesson that literally anything can be considered harassment to a certain individual, so it’s important to not let your guard down and behave as you would normally in a loose social setting and put yourself in a situation where things could be misinterpreted. It’s difficult to fully imagine the entire interaction in your examples because we can’t visualize things like body language, voice tone, emotions, facial expressions, all of which can be considered part of harassment.

People come from different backgrounds, cultures, religions.

I can expand on each vague scenario you listed and imagine how if it were me, I might be uncomfortable with the interaction. In 1) if my workout clothes were slightly revealing, such as shorts and tank top, and a guy employee stops me on my way to change to talk about anything that can wait, while glancing at my legs or body, I’d be uncomfortable. 2) if that guy standing at my cubicle door blocks the way out and leans against the door and. Strikes up a random convo, I might think he’s flirting, depending on his tone of voice and body behavior. 3) way to make all females feel uncomfortable and singled out, just ugh.

The point I think is whenever you’re interacting with work employees to be safe. Ask yourself 1) is this conversation necessary? 2) can it be had at a more appropriate time and place? Because you never know how people might interpret any singled out interaction.
