Sexual Harassment Prevention & Intervention: New Focus on an Old Problem
Duration: 60 minutes
Speaker: Judi Clements
Webinar Description
Recent revelations about Harvey Weinstein and other alleged harassers have highlighted important issues about a problem that can occur in every workplace: sexual harassment. How common is it? Why don’t more victims report it? What should be done to prevent it? Human resource professionals are likely to face more questions, complaints, and situations as more employees find their voices and say “Me too; I’ve been sexually harassed and won’t stand for it anymore.” “The “workplace” has changed from a single site to a vast array of locations, off-site offices, internet sites, and international destinations. The workplace is also a mix of generations, ethnic backgrounds, and personality types. These conditions have raised many challenges regarding sexual harassment and opportunities to help prevent it and to respond to harassment claims. In this program, you will have the opportunity to increase your knowledge and receive new insights about workplace sexual harassment prevention and response
