Promoting a safe, harassment-free work environment can help attract and retain skilled employees. But what is acceptable workplace behavior? How do you report an incident of sexual harassment to your employer? These topics and more will be discussed to promote better understanding of sexual harassment prevention in the workplace, using interactive scenarios of actual workplace situations. Specifically, this presentation will define several words used in relation to harassment in the workplace, review patterns of harassment, outline policies on appropriate behavior that is expected in the workplace and review the students’ rights and responsibilities.
