Workplace Harassment: Awareness and Prevention Training Course

From the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) guidance to OSHA’s General Duty Clause (29 USC 654 S5), workplace harassment is a known problem that comes with severe legal penalties – not to mention significant and often devastating workplace issues.

In this comprehensive course on workplace harassment training, we delve into the many facets of this critical issue, including its definition, various forms, and impact on employees and the work environment. This training will help to avoid reduced workplace productivity, increases in worker (and manager!) stress levels, problems with company morale, and legal consequences.

Preventing workplace harassment is a collective responsibility, requiring action from both employers and employees. Employers must communicate clear expectations, provide training, establish effective reporting processes, and take immediate action when harassment occurs. Employees have responsibilities when they witness or experience harassment – including reporting processes for incidents they observe or even spotting signs of harassment in their work environment.

You'll learn about the different types of harassment, such as verbal, physical, visual, cyber, sexual, discriminatory, and bullying as we discuss the crucial roles both employers and employees play in preventing and addressing harassment. Employers will learn how to establish effective policies and reporting processes, while employees will discover how to recognize the signs of harassment and report incidents early.

By the end of this course, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to foster a safe, inclusive, and respectful work environment for everyone.
