Reducing sexual and workplace harassment.
We’ve all sat through a mind-numbingly boring sexual harassment course. The material is important and necessary, yet it’s hard to make engaging. This course is different!
First, it focuses not just on reducing harassment, but on creating a positive work environment in which everyone feels safe and supported. Second, it follows the story of an office team facing harassment issues as they learn how their words can impact those around them, and how to treat each other with respect. Third, it includes interactive assessments that challenge the student to think through scenarios and what constitutes appropriate workplace behaviour. Fourth, it includes a state-specific lesson on an employee’s rights and protections in the state of Connecticut. Lastly, it includes a section specifically for supervisors that follows the story of another office team dealing with quid pro quo harassment at work.
By the end of this course, students will be able to describe their rights and responsibilities related to workplace harassment, as well as their responsibilities as a supervisor, and feel empowered to be part of a positive change in their organization.
