Q
What is considered workplace harassment under Mexican law?
Workplace harassment can include unwanted conduct that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment. In Mexico, this may include sexual harassment, workplace bullying (acoso laboral), discrimination, threats, humiliation, or other behaviors that negatively affect an employee's dignity, wellbeing, or ability to work.
Q
What is the difference between workplace harassment and workplace violence?
Workplace harassment typically involves repeated unwanted behavior that targets an individual, while workplace violence includes physical, verbal, psychological, or other harmful actions that threaten a person's safety or wellbeing. Both can contribute to psychosocial risks under NOM-035.
Q
What is NOM-035 and why does it matter?
NOM-035 is a Mexican workplace standard that requires employers to identify, assess, and help prevent psychosocial risk factors, including workplace violence, harassment, and unhealthy work environments. It is designed to promote employee wellbeing and a positive organizational culture.
Q
What should employees do if they witness harassment at work?
Employees should safely intervene when appropriate, support affected coworkers, document concerning behavior, and report incidents through established workplace channels. Taking action early can help prevent harmful situations from escalating.
Q
How can employees report harassment or discrimination concerns?
Employees should follow their organization's reporting procedures, which may include notifying a manager, Human Resources, an ethics hotline, or another designated reporting channel. Reports should be made as soon as possible so concerns can be investigated promptly.
