Creating a Sexual Harassment Training that Works

Everyone, at some point, is subjected to abusive or harassing behavior in their life. This is especially problematic in the workplace. As awareness of harassment has grown, fear of being accused of inappropriate behavior has risen. Companies must now train their employees to stop harassment, but none of the training ever seems to work.

What if we could change that and provide a training that actually changed behavior for the better? What if your compliance training did more than check a box?

Many countries prohibit sexual harassment in the workplace and encourage training of employees to prevent it. For instance, in the USA, sexual harassment is not only illegal, the EEOC encourages all employers to take steps necessary to prevent sexual harassment from occurring. One of the main ways employers try to help is through sexual harassment training programs. In this course we will discuss how to create a sexual harassment training that will actually work.
