Skills covered in this course
Description
Electronic communication is now a primary way employees interact at work, but the legal responsibilities tied to those communications have not changed. This Electronic Harassment Is Still Harassment training program for managers explains how workplace harassment laws apply to email, text messages, collaboration platforms, social media, and remote communication tools. Managers learn how electronic behavior can create liability for both the organization and individual supervisors, especially when concerns are ignored or not addressed promptly.
The course explains how electronic harassment can create hostile work environments, how quid pro quo harassment can occur through digital communication, and why managers must respond quickly when complaints arise. It also outlines how harassment laws apply beyond the office, including interactions with vendors, customers, contractors, and employees working remotely. Managers learn their responsibilities for enforcing policies, documenting incidents, investigating complaints, preventing retaliation, and maintaining compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws such as Title VII. These steps help organizations reduce risk and support a respectful workplace culture.
