A Leer, A Pat, A Joke, A Gesture, An Innuendo, A Kiss: Are You Prepared To Be the Next Social Media Blitz, Identified on #MeToo, or a Headline in the Newspaper?
OVERVIEW
Harvey
Weinstein, Matt Lauer, Charlie Rose, Al Franken, Garrison Keillor, members of
Congress, and various State law makers have been accused of sexual harassment
and/or sexual assault. But there is a difference between pulling one’s pants
down in front of a female colleague at work and touching a woman on her
buttocks during a photo op—isn’t there? What is that difference? Are both
examples considered sexual harassment? What is sexual harassment? Sexual
bullying?
Questions
and confusion abound with the current seismic national—and
international—tsunami of women coming forward to disclose their victimization.
The #MeToo movement is providing a platform for women’s voices to be shared as
they tell their stories.
But
it is not only famous powerful men, such as celebrities and law makers, who
sexually harass women (and sometimes men), powerful men (and occasionally
women) in every industry may find they either have in the past, or are
currently guilty of aggressive propositioning, touching, or telling off-color jokes.
National
statistics on sexual violence shows that sexual harassment exists at every
level from universities, to workplaces, to healthcare and even in law firms.
Antics or bad behavior such as this are unacceptable in the workplace and
against company policy, but do these behaviors rise to the very high standard
of illegal sexual harassment?
No
matter one’s gender, everyone has the legal and ethical right to be free from
sexual harassment and sexual bullying. So how to address sexual harassment at
work and what sexual harassment policy your organization should create and
implement to address the epidemic of sexual harassment at workplace? Are your
strategies working?
According
to the 2016 EEOC report
on sexual harassment at workplace, 90% of those who say they were harassed never reported it or
took formal action. Considering this sobering statistic, what will you do
differently?
Do
you or your employer tolerate or ignore any employee who has a reputation for
sexually inappropriate behavior. Perhaps he gets excused with comments such as
“Oh, that’s just George, he doesn’t mean anything by it.” The EEOC also found that sexual harassment
complaints are continuing to increase despite some organizations conducting
sexual harassment training. They determined the type and format of training is
largely ineffective.
WHY
SHOULD YOU ATTEND
The
U. S. Supreme Court has stated that organizations must prevent sexual
harassment at workplace. This webinar will outline how to address sexual
harassment at work. The prevention strategies will minimize your liability.
Workplaces should be based on equality, respect and dignity.
What

and dignity? Supervisors are often the first line of defense in confronting
sexual harassment; the webinar will outline who is a supervisor, which will
surprise many attendees.
