Workplace Application:
The primary workplace application is risk prevention and creating respectful workplaces, aiding in compliance and creating a positive culture.
In this session, we will talk about strategies for addressing sex harassment. We will explore themes of an imbalance of power, toxic workplaces, why there is a persistent reluctance to report, and so on. We will talk about how sex harassment has evolved and changed, including newer forms from a remote or hybrid workplace. We will offer some recommendations on creating more effective training and reporting solutions. And no discussion of harassment would be complete without a discussion of retaliation and effective means of redress. We hope to stimulate some dynamic thinking and sharing from participants.
Learning Objectives:
- Understanding of the dynamics of workplace harassment -- motives/personality of harasser and reasons for non-reporting.
- Ideas for changing training and reporting/complaint procedures for greater success.
