How can employees handle situations where their boundaries are being crossed in the workplace without causing unnecessary conflict or tension with their colleagues or supervisors?

Empathy
Employees can handle situations where their boundaries are being crossed by calmly and assertively communicating their concerns to the person involved. They can set clear boundaries and expectations with their colleagues and supervisors from the beginning to prevent future issues. It is important to approach the situation with empathy and understanding, while also standing firm in their boundaries. Seeking support from HR or a supervisor may also be necessary if the situation escalates or persists.
