Preventing Harassment in the Workplace

There are three types of people in the workplace:

1. Those who would never harass someone but who may encounter harassment either of themselves or of others and need to know how to respond.
2. Those who don’t know where the boundaries are and who may inadvertently commit–or fail to prevent–a form of harassment.
3. Those who don’t care about the consequences of harassment and who, in fact, may be guilty of harassment.

All three of these types can benefit from a no-nonsense workshop that, through the active use of case examples, gives clear guidance on how to head off and discourage harassment. This fast-paced class addresses the full range of harassment types and shows the specific danger zones. It gives participants the information that is needed to gain control of what can seem to be an unpredictable and hyper-sensitive subject.
