Understanding Harassment: 01. Introduction to Understanding Harassment
Yes. We're all familiar with sexual harassment. We all likely have preconceived notions of what it looks like, where it occurs, who perpetrators might be, or even targets of harassment. Chances are, what you know or what you think you know about sexual harassment is incorrect, inaccurate, or incomplete. In this course, we're going to provide a general overview of sexual harassment in today's workplace. We'll look at statistics, discuss offenders, targets, and bystanders, and we'll talk about how sexual harassment is REALLY showing up at work.

Understanding Harassment: 02. Understanding Offenders
We've looked at types and categories of sexual harassment, what potential targets can do, and what's expected of bystanders. But what kind of person engages in sexual harassment in the first place? That's what we're going to cover in this program. We'll look at seven common personality types most likely to engage in sexual harassment. Then we'll go over the seven most commonly used methods to harass targets. Being armed with this information will help you to prevent harassment or call it out when you see it. For more information, contact [email protected].
Understanding Harassment: 03. Understanding Targets
Sexual harassment is always the complete responsibility of the offender. There's no justification for sexual harassment in any situation. To understand why certain individuals are targeted, we will go over some common myths concerning sexual harassment in the workplace. We will also cover things that employees can do to prevent becoming a target of sexual harassment. Finally, we will discuss why targets of sexual harassment do not report it, and we'll talk about ways that we can change that within the organization. For more information, contact [email protected]
Understanding Harassment: 04. Bystander Training
If you believe that you've witnessed sexual harassment in your workplace, do you know what to do? Do you know who to report it to? Do you know if what you saw is even reportable? Should you talk to the target? The perpetrator? This program is designed to help you understand what sexual harassment looks like from a bystander's viewpoint and what your responsibilities are if you unexpectedly witness harassment. We'll talk about the four-part reactive process of a bystander and how targets of harassment may or may not react. We'll also discuss how to intervene if you're a witness to sexual harassment. For more information, contact [email protected].
Understanding Harassment: 05. Warning Signs
This program provides the common warning signs seen in targets of sexual harassment. This isn't an all-inclusive list, but knowing these warning signs can help you take care of yourself, your friends and family, and your coworkers. Remember that everyone reacts differently, and someone may exhibit some of these signs or none at all. Regardless of the response, being a target of sexual harassment can be a harrowing and psychologically devastating experience. These are the things we need to look out for. For more information, contact [email protected].
Understanding Harassment: 06. Healthy Culture
When we talk about sexual harassment in the workplace, what typically comes to mind are different scenarios or behaviors that make people feel uncomfortable or offended. Often times, these situations occur within a culture that accepts, tolerates, ignores, or avoids these inexcusable behaviors. Companies have a responsibility to protect their employees. Promoting zero-tolerance for sexual harassment should be engrained within your culture. So where do you start? This course is designed to help you shape your company culture to one that discourages and prevents sexual harassment. We'll discuss topics like language, socializing, business trips, and the importance of training. For more information, contact [email protected].

We'll discuss how to report sexual harassment, whether you're a witness or a target. We'll review the various harassment behaviors and warning signs to look out for. And finally, we'll leave you with some ways to create a healthy workplace culture. For more information, contact [email protected].
