Respectful Workplace: Understanding & Preventing Harassment
Print this page Email this page
 

Sexual harassment may be illegal, but it also can be a symptom of a much larger problem—lack of respect in the workplace. This program starts with the minimum requirements of the law, along with your organization's policies and procedures preventing harassment on the basis of sex, race, age, religion, national origin, disability, and sexual orientation. Going beyond the minimum, we bring in your organizational values, as well as the values of the participants, to begin the process of creating a respectful workplace. This half-day interactive workshop can be customized for executives, managers, supervisors and for all employees.
