Sexual Harassment Prevention: Training for Managers & Supervisors

Summary

In the continuing era of #METOO & #TIMESUP, employers have the responsibility to ensure that every employee feels safe, protected as well as supported in the workplace!

The first step in sexual harassment and assault prevention is education. It is crucial, and required, that your managers and supervisors understand what constitutes as sexual harassment, how to identify it, and how to properly report and react to sexual harassment claims. Simply having an anti-harassment policy is just not enough.

Join us with your managers for our 90-minute webinar with real-world examples and actionable steps. We will address a wide range of words, nonverbals, and other actions that constitute sexual harassment – both legal but offensive, to clearly unlawful. Your team will leave the program with effective measures to avoid, reduce, report and react to sexual harassment claims.

Your managerial and supervisory teams will gain a clear understanding of:
  • What constitutes discrimination or sexual harassment under federal and state laws, and your organization’s policies
  • Discern the difference between words and actions that are legal but harmful, as well as words and actions that violate the law(s)
  • Recognize protected classes of individuals under federal and state laws, regulations and case law
  • An understanding of the difference between gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation
  • How micro-assaults, micro-insults and micro-invalidations can morph into bullying or unlawful harassment
  • Describe and adhere to the elements of the organization’s anti-discrimination and harassment policies including the entity’s complaint reporting, confidentiality and anti-retaliation provisions
  • The remedies available to them under federal, state and local laws, and the organization’s policies
  • Ways to analyze factual settings to determine if a sexual harassment charge is "quid pro quo” or "hostile environment”
  • How to comprehend their own personal liability for violations of the law and/or organizational policies
