Sexual Harassment from an Employee's Perspective

A common sense approach for employees.

Unwelcome conduct is bad news for employers.  Isn't it just amazing that sexual harassment continues to occur in the workplace? Even after huge settlements and attention-grabbing headlines, people continue to behave inappropriately in the workplace environment.  Some people just behave badly, while others may overreact to minor slights that don't really qualify as sexual harassment.  Our training helps your employee’s understand:

 

  • Is it ever okay to hug someone at work?
  • Is it ever okay to kiss your friends at work?
  • What is appropriate touching?
  • Are compliments ever appropriate?
  • How appropriate is it to use e-mails to send jokes?
  • How much joking around is acceptable?
  • Is it illegal for employees to date?
  • What are the inappropriate behaviors that can get you in legal trouble?

 

Our training program, “Sexual Harassment: An Employee's Perspective” is designed to help your employees understand both the gray areas and the obvious. We visually show them various realistic scenes that are clearly sexual harassment, and others that are probably just a lapse in good judgment.
 
 We provide a safe haven for open communication; we add our insights to help your employees distinguish what is--and what is not--sexual harassment, in various settings including manufacturing, office, healthcare and academic environments. They will learn how to respond appropriately and how to behave in compliance with the law and your policies.

Use this training to ensure that your employees understand the atmosphere of civility you expect them to maintain within your company or organization.
