Course Description
Given the ease of receiving and viewing sexually explicit materials on cell phones, computers and social media, employers as well as employees should be concerned about preventing sexual harassment in the workplace.
As per a study by HBR, an “Old School” investigatory approach often fails to protect women and stop harassment. A “New School” approach is needed, whereby, managers handle the issues themselves, focus less on punishment and more on solving the problem.
Studies show that a single sexual harassment claim can dramatically reduce public’s perceptions of an entire organizations’ gender equity. What should companies and managers be doing now?
This suggests that companies need to be responsive and pro-active when it comes to sexual harassment claims, which not only benefits alleged victims, but public perception as well.
In this webinar, International speaker and trainer, Harold Levy, will talk about:
- How to recognize sexual harassment if it occurs and create a positive work environment free from sexual harassment.
- Describe federal and state laws and policy that prohibits sexual harassment and describe the necessary components of an organization’s policy and expectations with respect to sexual harassment.
- Discuss sexual harassment and how it affects its victims and the work environment.
- Describe what is necessary to report, oppose, and address sexual harassment in the workplace.
- What is required to support and assist victims of sexual harassment, if it occurs.
