Workplace Harassment: What It Is and What To Do About It

In 2012 alone, the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ordered that $365,400,000 (that’s 365.4 million dollars!) be paid out for discrimination and harassment charges. No wonder companies are working to be more proactive in preventing harassment.

But how do you prevent harassment from occurring? What sorts of policies should be in place? What should managers do to protect their employees? And if a complaint is filed, what will we do? All of these questions (and more!) will be answered in this two-day workshop.

COURSE OUTLINE (click for details)

Defining Harassment

This session will look at legal, literary, and reasonable man/woman definitions of harassment.

Defining Sexual Harassment

This session will discuss sexual harassment in a lecture and small group work. Topics covered include the definition of sexual harassment, the components of harassment, and common scenarios that could be construed as harassment.

The Purpose of Training

In this session, we will discuss what kind of harassment training can benefit an organization.

Creating a Harassment Policy

The best way to prevent harassment from occurring is by setting a clear policy, educating employees about it, and enforcing it. We will discuss some basics of creating, implementing, and monitoring a policy, plus some training points.

Other Prevention Strategies

Next, participants will explore some other ways of preventing harassment in groups.

Nipping it in the Bud

One of the most important prevention strategies is for managers to carefully monitor their workplace. During this session we will use a lecture and a role play to talk about how managers can do this.

Protecting Yourself

There are many things that you can do to minimize your risk of being harassed or of being perceived as a harasser. We will discuss six of them.

What If It Happens to Me?

During this session we will discuss what you can do if someone is harassing you, including techniques for saying no. Participants will then practice these techniques during a role play.

What If It’s Happening to Someone Else?

There will often be situations where a manager thinks or knows that harassment is occurring, but a complaint has not been filed. We will discuss what to do in this situation.

Someone Has Filed a Complaint Against Me!

If you are in the situation where someone has filed a complaint against you, do not panic. There are several steps that you can take to deal with the situation appropriately, all of which will be discussed in detail during this session.

Addressing a Complaint

No matter how proactive you are, most employers receive a harassment complaint at some point in time. We will discuss the four key components of dealing with a complaint fairly and appropriately.

Handling False Complaints

If you suspect that a harassment complaint is false, you must be very careful when dealing with it. This session will discuss some things that you can do in this situation.

Mediation

When the claimant decides to file a complaint, mediation may be offered as an alternative. We will discuss what mediation is, when it is and isn’t appropriate, and how the process may work. Participants will also have an opportunity to role play mediation.

Investigating a Complaint

Investigating harassment complaints often requires special training and skills. During this session, we will cover some basics of investigation, including when a complaint should and should not be investigated, who should be involved, what the investigation process should look like, and how results can be reported.

Making the Decision

During this session we will talk about who should make the final decision about the complaint. We will also discuss when you should involve legal counsel.

Creating Solutions

There are three possible solutions to a harassment complaint: solutions for the complainant, solutions for the respondent, and solutions for the organization. We will explore possibilities for each case during this session.

After It’s Over

Once the harassment complaint has been resolved, everyone should try to get back to normal life. This session will discuss how managers and the organization as a whole can help employees make this transition.

Skill Application

The afternoon of day two will be spent role playing four stages of the harassment process: the initial consultation with an advisor, the filing of a formal complaint, an investigation, and the decision. Detailed case files are provided with the course.

Hands down Live Training is our most popular and requested format, whether on-site, virtual classroom, or as a lunch & learn.

Something you certainly will Not receive is a pre-formatted, pre-scripted, one-size fits all training experience. We know that every team has unique learning needs and situations, therefore your training should be too. Our free program customization service aims to meet unique or custom training needs. Why settle for a program that gives you almost what you need; our team thrives on giving you Exactly what you need.

The traditional classroom style of training remains our Most Popular and Most Requested format.  On-site training provides participants with an in-person facilitator who will work directly with the team, whether for a single training session or a training series.  The Mainstream team will craft and tailor your experience to ensure that your training session is specific, relevant and unique to your audience while meeting your learning objectives. Why settle for ‘pre-formatted, pre-scripted, one-size fits all’ training programs, when our team is able to customize a program that is just right for you?  We know that every team has unique learning needs, situations and that they come from a variety of industries, each having unique customer needs and demands.  Our programs can be scaled to accommodate time restraints, unique learning needs and even industry or company nuances and barriers.

Virtual Room

Virtual Room

Delivering traditional onsite training results …virtually!

We’ve officially changed the rules and redefined what is possible in the world of soft skills learning. Our unique technology, accompanied by honed delivery methodology, have successfully replicated the traditional classroom-style training environment, allowing it to exist online.

Most online training solutions limit participants’ responses to keystrokes or to single person conversations because -with inferior technology- group discussions become distorted and confusing to follow.  Our Virtual Room has eliminated those barriers and encourages learning through meaningful instructor feedback, skills modelling and engaging group discussion, without visual or audio distortion

The Virtual Room is for any organization seeking a flexible substitute to traditional onsite training; whether to lower costs, eliminate unnecessary travel or to simply ease the burden of demanding work schedules.

Lunch & Learn

Lunch & Learn

A Lunch and Learn session is an onsite or virtual learning program with a facilitator-led session sharing valuable information and skills on an area of identified learning interest.  It’s a great break away from a traditional training program, allowing your team the opportunity to learn while enjoying their lunch. Due to the limited time, the program focuses on specific learning concepts and skills.   It is an interactive session that quickly targets and reveals learning objectives that are predetermined by the training organizer.   Lunch & Learn sessions are also great as a training series, providing progressive learning programs for developing skills in a ‘bite-sized’ format.

This two-day course will walk you through the process of event management, from the beginning stages of planning, to the final touches (like decorations, food, and music).

While this course is specifically for corporate event planning, the elements here can also be applied to more personal event planning like anniversaries, special birthday gatherings, weddings, and more.
