COURSE DESCRIPTION Consistent with EEOC guidelines and court decisions, Workplace Harassment Prevention training covers not just sexual harassment, but all forms of workplace harassment, discrimination, and retaliation through numerous scenarios and learning games designed to explore the nuances of inappropriate workplace conduct. As required by various state and local laws, the training addresses topics beyond sexual harassment such as bullying; harassment based on gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation; and bystander intervention.
This online course teaches employees not only what harassment is but also what harassment is not. In this way, employees are less likely to file harassment complaints for conduct that is not in fact harassment. This training also addresses new topics relating to workplace harassment including how the misuse of social media and mobile devices can contribute to a hostile work environment and lead to employee discipline.
