Q. I am a sales representative. Every time I call on one particular physician in my territory, he comments on how nice I look and asks me when I will agree to have dinner with him. I have been able to handle this by jokingly telling him that it is not appropriate but he doesn't seem to be getting the message. What should I do?

A. The Company's Workplace Discrimination/Harassment policy, protects colleagues from Discrimination and/or harassment from any source, including our customers. An occasional, general comment such as "your new outfit is nice" or "I like your new haircut" may be acceptable under certain circumstances. However, repetitive comments like these and repeated requests for a date may lead to a hostile work environment. You can tell the physician that his comments are making you uncomfortable but you are not required to confront him. You should report this to your manager, your local Human Resources representative or the Integrity Action Line.
