Tools for the Prevention of Harassment and Other Workplace Violations

Another of her workshops called Tools for the Prevention of Harassment and Other Workplace Violations is designed especially for Human Resources professionals. Various exercises and group discussions are used to help "create pictures" of inappropriate workplace behaviors and define "reasonable" expectations for change. The goals of the program are to define sexual harassment and other violations of human dignity so that participants will easily recognize these offenses. More importantly, the program provides tools to avoid and handle episodes of workplace offenses. Attention will be paid to helping attendees understand, use and teach assertion skills to empower themselves and their companies’ managers to deal with workplace violations. According to current law, managers bear a particular responsibility and liability regarding certain harassment. The program provides recommendations to HR professionals to help their companies’ managers to mitigate that legal burden.
