Empower Your Workplace: Comprehensive Sexual Harassment Prevention Training

Create and sustain a truly respectful workplace with our "Sexual Harassment Prevention Training" course. Designed for all employees and managers, this comprehensive program uses interactive materials and compelling stories to navigate the complexities of workplace harassment and discrimination. Go beyond mere compliance to foster an environment of dignity, fairness, and psychological safety for everyone.

What You'll Master:

• Defining Respect & Preventing Discrimination: Understand what a respectful workplace truly looks like, how to distinguish between harassment and discrimination, and the foundational anti-discrimination laws that protect employees. These laws include the Equal Pay Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). You'll learn how discrimination is unfair or unequal treatment based on protected characteristics in various employment areas.
• Understanding Sexual Harassment: Gain a clear understanding of what sexual harassment is – any unwanted behavior that offends, disrespects, or threatens another person, whether sexual or gender-based. Explore its diverse forms – verbal, nonverbal, physical, and visual – with practical examples. Delve into the two illegal categories under Title VII: Quid Pro Quo (sexual favors requested for workplace benefits) and Hostile Work Environment (intimidating, abusive, or offensive workplace created by frequent or severe conduct).
• Taking Action if Harassed: Learn crucial, protected steps if you experience sexual harassment. You'll understand how to speak directly to the harasser to make your boundaries clear, the vital importance of reporting the harassment to management or HR, and your comprehensive protections against retaliation (adverse employment reactions to complaints are illegal). Discover effective methods to document incidents and strategies for psychological recovery from harassment's traumatic effects.
• Effective Bystander Intervention: Equip yourself with the critical skills to intervene safely and effectively when witnessing sexual harassment. Explore practical strategies such as disrupting or redirecting the situation, confronting harassers privately, calling out bad behavior on the spot, and supporting targeted individuals by offering assistance and documenting incidents.
• Supervisor & Manager Responsibilities: For leaders, this course provides additional training designed specifically for supervisors, covering how to prevent sexual harassment and how to respond appropriately to complaints. Understand your legal and professional obligations, the essential do's and don'ts of handling complaints (e.g., take every complaint seriously, seek HR help immediately, do not guarantee confidentiality, do not retaliate), and how to avoid personal liability for inaction or mishandling.
• Building a Culture of Prevention: Learn the five key tips for proactively preventing sexual harassment in your organisation: promoting a culture of respect, creating clear anti-harassment policies, establishing a safe reporting system, providing mandatory and comprehensive training, and maintaining open lines of communication.

Why This Course Is Essential: Sexual harassment creates significant psychological and professional impacts on individuals, leading to stress, anxiety, decreased morale, and reduced productivity. For businesses, it translates into severe financial costs, a poor reputation, increased absenteeism, and higher employee turnover. This course empowers you to be an ally, uphold ethical standards, and actively contribute to a safe, productive, and legally compliant work environment.

While this course is designed to comply with most state regulations for sexual harassment prevention training, please reference the specific regulations that apply to your company to ensure full compliance.
