Bio: | Harassment training is critical in an organization. It is not just a matter of creating a hostile work environment for those who work in the office, but it is about preventing the same from happening in the workplace. Harassment in the workplace has become the number one complaint across the country. Studies have shown that 75% of businesses experience some type of harassment in any given year. It doesn't take long for that number to rise into the hundreds if not thousands.
Part of that cost requires creating an inclusive work environment where employees are protected from harassing, demeaning, and unwelcome advances from their colleagues. Many businesses put off mandatory harassment training or simply ignore it. In many cases, they don't even know how much they should be doing to protect their employees. It is not enough to say you will train employees on how to report harassment or even on what kind of behavior is considered acceptable. In-person and online harassment training can provide a complete educational package to address every scenario that may arise. The first step towards ensuring comprehensive harassment training for employers is to require every employee to participate. If there are a large number of employees, this can be difficult. Fortunately, many employers have become savvy at the ability for a simple signature to become a valid signature in order to file an actual lawsuit. Once employers see that employees understand what behavior is acceptable and what is not, they often become more willing to take employees' word as true. If an employee has the opportunity to work with others who have gone through the same harassment training online, they can pass along the information. There are many great online harassment training sites that provide step-by-step instructions, tips and tricks to keep any employee safe. Employees can even post their own online training stories in order to help other employees who may be struggling to understand what is acceptable and what is not. It is always best to post the story with specific reference to the situation being addressed. It is also important to use specific examples instead of general descriptions in order to avoid any confusion. Another important part of any online harassment training program is identifying the most common types of sexual harassment. Many people assume that any type of physical contact with a person that would lead to sexual touching or other unwanted touching is acceptable. This is simply not true. There are many different types of situations where it is possible for a person to be touched in inappropriate ways. Knowing the most common types of sexual harassment is important so that employees know what to expect when they put their body in a vulnerable position in front of other employees. It is easy to say that sexual harassment is wrong, but it is more difficult to prove that a person was subjected to such conduct. For this reason, some employers will settle lawsuits brought against them on claims of sexual harassment. If an employee brings a lawsuit of discrimination, there are often times that companies will settle out of court rather than fight in court to prove that they have not subjected an employee to any illegal conduct. Harassment training programs can play an important role in correcting the conduct that is considered as inappropriate in the workplace. Harassment can take place in many different forms, from teasing and name calling during office hours to actual sexual assault. By providing knowledge about the most common types of harassment, employees will be better able to deal with any situations that may arise. This will help to ensure that the work environment is free from harassment. |
