Tips for Harassment Prevention Measures that Actually Prevent Harassment

Harassment prevention policies and harassment prevention training have really become about checking the compliance box, rather than actually preventing harassment. Instead, your best defense is creating a culture that leaves no room for harassment because speaking up is comfortable. That is, your best defense is inviting employees to resolve the issue internally. Your best defense is a workplace culture that prevents harassment.

In this course we discuss preventive training measures, steps to consider such as evaluating gender pay gaps, and stepping in when people act in legal ways that are still bad for your organization (e.g., incivility). Allowing incivility to occur opens the door for worse behavior, because it signals to your workforce that your core values and talk about teamwork is moot. This course will take you to the next level of harassment prevention.
