LEARNING OBJECTIVES

There is growing evidence that sexual harassment, at a minimum, is a stress producer and, in its more extreme forms, can pose a danger as a result of distraction, fear, and assault.
U.S. Department of Labor
Occupational Safety & Health Administration

Sexual harassment is one of the most emotionally charged and legally complex issues facing managers today. It continues to make headlines, costing employers millions of dollars in legal fees, lost productivity, and turnover

Sexual harassment can happen anywhere at anytime to anybody. However, an employee is protected from sexual harassment in the workplace under federal and state law. Training employees to clearly understand what sexual harassment is—and what to do about it—is an effective and timely investment.

Connecticut companies with 50 or more employees are required to provide training on sexual harassment prevention to all of their supervisory personnel. All new supervisory employees must be trained within six months of their start.

This CIRMA workshop helps participants to quickly learn to apply the important elements of carefully and correctly handling sexual harassment issues and complaints.

This interactive workshop:

Defines sexual harassment.
Explains the legal definitions of sexual harassment and the employer’s responsibilities.
Discusses ways to prevent sexual harassment.
