Summary:
Last year alone, the US Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission ordered that $365,400,000 (that's 365.4 million
dollars!) be paid out for discrimination and harassment
charges. No wonder companies are working to be more
proactive in preventing harassment in the workplace.
But
how do you prevent harassment from occurring? What sorts of
policies should be in place? What should managers do to
protect their employees? And if a complaint is filed, what
will we do? All of these questions (and more!) will be
answered in this two-day workshop.
Defining Harassment
This
session will look at legal, literary, and reasonable
man/woman definitions of harassment.
Defining Sexual Harassment
This
session will discuss sexual harassment in a lecture and
small group work. Topics covered include the definition of
sexual harassment, the components of harassment, and common
scenarios that could be construed as harassment.
The
Purpose of Training
In
this session, we will discuss what kind of harassment
training can benefit an organization.
Creating a Harassment Policy
The
best way to prevent harassment from occurring is by setting
a clear policy, educating employees about it, and enforcing
it. We will discuss some basics of creating, implementing,
and monitoring a policy, plus some training points.
Other
Prevention Strategies
Next,
participants will explore some other ways of preventing
harassment in groups.
Nipping it in the Bud
One of
the most important prevention strategies is for managers to
carefully monitor their workplace. During this session we
will use a lecture and a role play to talk about how
managers can do this.
Protecting Yourself
There
are many things that you can do to minimize your risk of
being harassed or of being perceived as a harasser. We will
discuss six of them.
What
If It Happens to Me?
During
this session we will discuss what you can do if someone is
harassing you, including techniques for saying no.
Participants will then practice these techniques during a
role play.
What
If It's Happening to Someone Else?
There
will often be situations where a manager thinks or knows
that harassment is occurring, but a complaint has not been
filed. We will discuss what to do in this situation.
Someone Has Filed a Complaint Against Me!
If you
are in the situation where someone has filed a complaint
against you, do not panic. There are several steps that you
can take to deal with the situation appropriately, all of
which will be discussed in detail during this session.
Addressing a Complaint
No
matter how proactive you are, most employers receive a
harassment complaint at some point in time. We will discuss
the four key components of dealing with a complaint fairly
and appropriately.
Handling False Complaints
If you
suspect that a harassment complaint is false, you must be
very careful when dealing with it. This session will discuss
some things that you can do in this situation.
Mediation
When
the claimant decides to file a complaint, mediation may be
offered as an alternative. We will discuss what mediation
is, when it is and isn't appropriate, and how the process
may work. Participants will also have an opportunity to role
play mediation.
Investigating a Complaint
Investigating harassment complaints often requires special
training and skills. During this session, we will cover some
basics of investigation, including when a complaint should
and should not be investigated, who should be involved, what
the investigation process should look like, and how results
can be reported.
Making
the Decision
During
this session we will talk about who should make the final
decision about the complaint. We will also discuss when you
should involve legal counsel.
Creating Solutions
There
are three possible solutions to a harassment complaint:
solutions for the complainant, solutions for the respondent,
and solutions for the organization. We will explore
possibilities for each case during this session.
After
It's Over
Once
the harassment complaint has been resolved, everyone should
try to get back to normal life. This session will discuss
how managers and the organization as a whole can help
employees make this transition.
Skill
Application
The
afternoon of day two will be spent role playing four stages
of the harassment process: the initial consultation with an
advisor, the filing of a formal complaint, an investigation,
and the decision. Detailed case files are provided with the
course.
Workshop Wrap-Up
At the
end of the course, students will have an opportunity to ask
questions and fill out an action plan.

We hired Rick to provide two completely different
presentations to our sales force and our customer service
teams. Both events were lively, dynamic and exciting. We
loved how he combined stage magic with his unique insights
in both of these specialties. We were all very impressed
with his highly creative programs. We loved his passion and
enthusiasm as a business speaker. Still trying to figure out
how he knew where we hid his paycheck. Totally impossible.
More impressive than when Kreskin did that!
