Skills covered in this course
Description
Electronic communication is now central to daily workplace interaction, but the same laws that apply to in-person behavior also apply to email, text messages, social media, collaboration platforms, and video meetings. This Electronic Harassment Is Still Harassment training program teaches employees how electronic behavior can create legal risk, damage workplace relationships, and contribute to a hostile work environment. Participants learn how harassment laws apply across digital channels, how to recognize inappropriate conduct, and how to respond appropriately when problems occur.
The course explains that electronic harassment can occur between peers, supervisors and employees, vendors, customers, contractors, and even through personal devices used outside the office when employees represent their organization. It also clarifies that intent does not determine whether behavior is harassment. Instead, the law evaluates whether conduct would be offensive to a reasonable person and whether it interferes with work performance or creates a hostile environment. Employees also learn how retaliation protections apply and why reporting concerns supports a safe and respectful workplace culture.
This program helps organizations reduce legal exposure, reinforce workplace standards, and ensure employees understand their responsibilities when communicating electronically across modern work environments.
