Just a few short years ago, many
couldn’t believe how hostile and inappropriate
many workplaces had become. During the 1970s and 1980s,
corporate behavior had truly descended to a level
where just about anything went. Inappropriate behavior
was all too commonplace and many organizations either
overlooked difficult situations or were simply ill-equipped
to handle them in a proper manner. Rather than tackling
situations directly, far too many organizations swept
them under the rug. During the 1990s, a shift in corporate
thought and governmental regulation brought the situation
under control and help more organizations understand
the importance of dealing with issues such as sexual
harassment. Gone were the days where anything went.
Some organizations went overboard and handled situations
without proper due diligence or investigation. Others
did what they could but still didn’t have a
formal policy in place. Our half-day Sensitivity in
the Workplace session is focused not only on recognizing
sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior but also
how to deal with these situations in a manner that
complies with corporate and governmental standards.
This half-day
session focuses on the critical need to inform managers,
employees and other organizational leaders with how
to recognize and handle difficult situations related
to harassment. Created as an interactive workshop
that focuses not only on the situations but why people
act the way they do, this class provides a detailed
and comprehensive overview of the definition of sexual
harassment and how to address it when it occurs. Guidelines
and issues related to Federal governmental regulations
and the court system are also addressed during this
skills-based training session. This workshop is applicable
to anyone in the workplace, regardless of whether
they are in a leadership role or function more as
an administrative worker. Participant materials and
reference guides will be provided so that important
guidelines and procedures are readily available should
situations arise.
