Course Description

Having an anti-harassment policy or sexual harassment policy is not enough. Organizations are at risk if managers and employees are not trained to be sensitive to conduct that may be construed as harassment or creating a hostile work environment. Additionally, regular training in unlawful harassment prevention is one component that allows employers to use the powerful affirmative defense against claims of harassment and discrimination in the workplace.

Workplace Harassment Awareness aims to encourage mutual understanding, sensitivity, and respect among employees. The training is interactive, with group discussions and scenarios designed to help employees apply their knowledge. Instructors will present all content, including scenarios, with compassion and sensitivity to employees’ experiences.  

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

• Define harassment, discrimination, and abusive conduct
  
• Identify the negative effects of wrongful behavior
  
• Effectively respond to incidents of harassment
  
• Do their part in preventing, addressing, and correcting wrongful behavior in the workplace
