About Hostile Work Environment Claims

A hostile work environment claim requires showing that unwelcome conduct based on a protected characteristic was severe or pervasive enough to create an abusive working environment. Courts consider the frequency, severity, and nature of the conduct, as well as whether it unreasonably interfered with the employee's work performance. Both the subjective experience and an objective standard are evaluated.
