A creepy coworker can make you feel anxious and uncomfortable in the workplace. Here are three effective ways to identify a creepy coworkers and deal with them.

Talk to Someone

Whenever you find something creepy or out of the ordinary in the workplace, the first thing to do is to discuss it with someone. No, we don’t advise you to go straight to the boss and complain about a coworker who has been minding their own business but to discuss it with someone from your level.

For example, if you suspect a male colleague is creepy, talking to other female colleagues about this situation might help. They may have experienced the same and are giving the benefit of the doubt. Once you speak up, they will find their sense being valid.

Form A Strong Relationship

No matter how much you live by all work, no play, having a relationship in the workplace is important. After all, who will get you through those long boring hours of work? Make sure you build a strong relationship with your coworkers and then find the ones you can trust to discuss such issues. Don’t mistake confiding in someone you barely know and who knows what they will spread or pass forward.

Ignore Them

A creepy coworker might be creepy for a cause. He may wish to command the attention of others without your knowledge, so he acts creepily in the hopes of capturing your attention. Please take notice that whether you give him a favorable or negative response, he will still gain the attention he desires. Please ignore him if this is the case.
