Eliminating Workplace Sexual Harassment

$60

Preventing sexual harassment is fundamental to all workplaces. Allegations and incidents of harassment in the workplace can: create an unsafe workplace, impair employee morale and wellbeing, and erode public trust.

How is training part of prevention?

  • The risk of incidents of workplace harassment occurring is reduced when people understand what conduct is “off-side” and hurtful
  • Employees of police services (and the public, when served) need to know they have a right to be free from harassment on the basis of sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation (as set out in human rights laws and under collective agreements).

Over four, 10-minute animated episodes, this sensitive topic is explored through the stories of staff and managers at the hypothetical company “Future Generation.” With interactive exercises, you will learn how to identify forms of sexual harassment, and how to respond to incidents and complaints in your workplace.

Here are some of those scenarios you’ll encounter in the course:

Episode 1: Everyone Loves the Funny Guy
What happens when the office funny guy’s jokes about the new employee cross the line?

Episode 2: You’ve Got Male
Samir doesn’t want to rock the boat, but he knows James’ insults and crude comments are off-side.

Episode 3: A Ross by Any Other Name
Who can Jasmine complain to when the harasser is her boss?

Episode 4: The Customer Isn’t Always Right
Andy is hurt when a key client makes offensive anti-gay remarks. Will he jeopardize the deal if he confronts the harassment directly?
