Despite
a decade’s worth of debate, employee training, and millions of
dollars in judgments against both individuals and businesses,
the number of sexual harassment complaints filed with courts and
the federal government continues to skyrocket. So too have the
expenses associated with the litigation of these complaints —
and not merely from damages but from legal fees, damaged reputations
and the loss of good will, falling sales, employee morale, and
the cost of replacing workers.
This
course will teach you the basics of what sexual harassment is
and what types of behaviors the law prohibits. You will learn
why prompt reporting and timely action to resolve sexual harassment
complaints is essential. It is intended to be an engaging combination
of interactive media designed to help you recognize the difference
between friendly actions and sexually harassing comments and behaviors.
Stopping
Sexual Harassment is intended to provide educational and training
materials to its users. Stopping Sexual Harassment is not intended
to render, and should not be construed to render, legal advice,
legal guidance, or other professional legal services to its users.
If legal advice or other expert assistance is required, the services
of a competent legal professional should be sought.
On
average, this training should take between an hour and an hour
and a half to complete.
