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.

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.

Understanding Harassment: 06. Healthy Culture
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 request@ej4.com.
