Does it encompass more than physical intimacy? While the media often portrays workplace consent as related to physical touch, it actually transcends such gestures. Whether you&#8217;re a leader, manager, or employee, understanding and integrating consent into our daily work interactions is crucial.<\/p><p>Ajay(He\/him) is a team leader, managing 20 employees. Ajay and his team successfully delivered a high-stakes project for their organisation. To celebrate this milestone, the team has been invited to a pub for a dinner meeting. Everyone in the room is a few drinks down and they all hit the dance floor. The vibe in the environment is fun and everyone is having a good time.<\/p><p>On the dance floor, Ajay is enthusiastically inviting his team members to dance. He also repeatedly calls the women in his team onto the dance floor. A few women politely refuse his invitation. However, he relentlessly pursues them and would not take \u201cNo\u201d for an answer. He also holds a woman colleague by her hand and leads her onto the dance floor. He is dancing in very close physical proximity with the team. While the women try to leave the dance floor, he makes sure he pulls them back in and keeps encircling them with his dance steps.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8354d20 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8354d20\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.16.0 - 20-09-2023 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/breathbeings.in\/enrich\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/artboard2.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1408\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/breathbeings.in\/enrich\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/artboard2.webp 1000w, https:\/\/breathbeings.in\/enrich\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/artboard2-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/breathbeings.in\/enrich\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/artboard2-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/breathbeings.in\/enrich\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/artboard2-768x768.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b129e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3b129e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Do you think Ajay\u2019s behaviour is OK?<br \/>In the name of fun, is it OK to breach personal boundaries?<br \/>Is it alright to coerce employees into doing what you expect of them?<br \/>Would it be difficult for team members to say a \u201cNo\u201d to Ajay considering he is in a power position?<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ced7b60 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ced7b60\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Ajay\u2019s behaviours definitely qualify as misconduct and harassment.

Before assigning extra work or asking employees to work for longer hours, it is important to ask if they are willing to do the same, rather than assuming their bandwidth<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Digital Consent:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Is everyone in the room comfortable with their pictures being clicked and shared on social media? Are people OK to be tagged on photos\/videos? It helps to check in with people before sharing any content or pictures of them online. Just asking a simple question, \u201cIs everyone OK for photos to be clicked and shared online?\u201d. There\u2019s a good possibility that a few people may succumb to peer pressure and not openly express their discomfort.
