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 research, after #MeToo movement blatant sexual harassment — experiences that drive many women out of their careers — might be declining, workplaces may be seeing a “backlash effect,” or an increase in hostility toward women.

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.

As per a study by HBR, “Old school” investigatory approach often fails to protect women and stop harassment, which is typically victims’ primary goal. A “new school” approach whereby managers handle the issues themselves, focusing less on punishment and more on solving the problem.

This workshop will:

• 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.

One research shows that men pay attention during manager training. Why? In part because they feel they’re being given new tools that will help them solve problems they haven’t known how to handle in the past—and in part because they’re assumed to be potential heroes rather than villains. Everybody’s in it together, learning how to recognize and curb dubious behaviors in ways that will improve the overall work environment.

In this webinar:

• Using facilitated discussion and structured activities, participants will explore the factors that contribute to sexual harassment.
• The webinar will examine the negative impact of sexual harassment on victims, co-workers and employers.
• Participants will also identify steps to stop sexual harassment and develop strategies to respond to it if it occurs.
• At the conclusion of the webinar, participants will plan ways to implement this training individually and collectively to ensure a positive work environment free from sexual harassment.

By the end of the session you will have clarity on the issue of sexual harassment, sex discrimination, its definition and the laws that prohibit it and how to prevent it in the workplace. Join us Now!
