Problems in the workplace sometimes go beyond the narrow limits of a professional setting, with their consequences affecting the victim in various ways. Workplace harassment can take various forms, such as:

• Sexual harassment
• Verbal or psychological abuse (mobbing)
• Extortion or threats
• Systematic downgrading and isolation of an employee

Many cases go unreported due to fear, social pressure, or lack of evidence.

What are the employee’s legal rights?

According to Greek legislation, every employee has the right to work in a safe and dignified environment. Provisions include:
• Filing a complaint with the Labour Inspectorate
• Judicial protection for psychological or physical harm
• Lawsuits for moral damages

Documentation is the “key”

A complaint without documentation has limited chances of success. This is where the contribution of a private investigator comes in.

How can a private detective help?

• Collection of evidence (audio, video, testimonies)
• Analysis of electronic communication or messages
• Recording of behavior or incidents in the workplace
• Support in the legal process

Independent private investigation helps strengthen the case and protect the employee’s rights. If you are facing harassment incidents in your workplace, you can seek advice from the private investigation agency Ydrogeios Detectives.
