Description
Workplace harassment is a widespread issue that affects nearly one in three employees during their careers. Among the various forms of harassment, sexual harassment is one of the most pervasive and underreported. To address these challenges, this Sexual Harassment Prevention course is specifically designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to foster a safe, respectful, and inclusive work environment.
The course begins by providing a clear definition and scope of harassment, including sexual harassment, outlining the types of behavior that qualify as sexual harassment in the workplace. We will dive into the personal and organizational impacts of sexual harassment, emphasizing how it affects victims, colleagues, and the overall workplace culture. Understanding these consequences is crucial for recognizing and addressing sexual harassment promptly and effectively.
As we move forward, you will learn about key global legislation, such as the POSH Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which provide legal frameworks for addressing sexual harassment. These laws define sexual harassment, outline employer responsibilities, and ensure that employees know their rights. Additionally, we will explore strategies for recognizing, reporting, and investigating sexual harassment incidents in a way that is respectful, thorough, and supportive of victims.
The course will also highlight the importance of creating a positive workplace culture that actively works to prevent sexual harassment. By promoting respect, communication, and inclusivity, organizations can mitigate the risk of sexual harassment and foster a healthier work environment. This course is grounded in ethics and cultural sensitivity, providing you with the essential tools to ensure a harassment-free workplace that supports every team member, regardless of gender, race, or background.
