Workshop Titles "Dealing With Sexual Harassment in the Workplace"

Summary

Sexual harassment is one of the most serious and sensitive issues that an organization must deal with.  Every employer has a duty and a responsibility to provide a work environment that is "harassment-free", by establishing clear cut policies in regard to sexual harassment. When employees are given education and guidelines that illustrate appropriate and inappropriate behaviors in the workplace, it is more likely that their actions will be aligned with organizational and legal policies against sexual harassment. In an interactive and safe environment, participants will be given an opportunity to explore this most sensitive topic from both a business and legal perspective.

Understanding the role that supervisors and managers play in creating a harassment-free workplace.
