Description:

Sexual harassment in the workplace is a serious issue that affects many employees and organizations.  This affects the mental and physical health of an employee as well as the environment in which employees work.  In this course you will learn about the types of sexual harassment, legalities associated, behaviors displayed, and actions that can be taken to prevent and handle these issues in the workplace.

Sexual harassment can be any form of unsolicited sexual actions that are so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment. It causes the harassed to feel oppressed and feel uncomfortable at work. A harasser can be the employee’s supervisor, a co-worker, or even a client or customer. Sexual harassment training is a must-have tool to fight, and ultimately end, sexual harassment in the workforce. Training is necessary so employees know what is considered appropriate and what crosses the line into sexual harassment. Knowledge is power, so all employees need to be informed as to what sexual harassment is and the power to report situations if they arise.

Negativity associated with sexual harassment can cause low employee morale, increased absenteeism, lower productivity, and decreased overall motivation of the workforce. The material covered in this training course includes a detailed description about each type of sexual harassment, legalities associated with it, different types of behavior displayed, and the various actions that can be taken to prevent and handle sexual harassment issues in the workplace.
