Course Description
Imagine a workplace where every individual feels safe, respected, and valued—an environment where professionalism and integrity thrive. In today’s world, where sexual harassment headlines often dominate the news, fostering such a space is more critical than ever. Whether you’re a business leader, manager, or employee, understanding how to prevent and respond to sexual harassment isn’t just a legal obligation—it’s the foundation of a healthy, productive workplace.
Sexual harassment can be a complex and uncomfortable topic. It goes beyond just knowing the laws or following HR guidelines; it’s about understanding human behavior, respect, power dynamics, and the subtle, often unseen ways harassment can manifest. This course is designed not only to inform you about what constitutes sexual harassment but to transform your approach to it. You’ll gain the tools needed to create real, lasting change in your workplace.
Why This Course Matters
This course is more than just another required training session. It’s an opportunity to deeply engage with the issue and understand its many facets. You won’t just learn definitions—you’ll dive into real-world scenarios, exploring the nuances of behavior that can sometimes blur the line between harmless interactions and harassment. Whether it’s a casual joke or an inappropriate comment in a virtual meeting, you’ll learn how to spot the red flags before they escalate.
The goal is to empower you, whether you're an HR professional or simply someone who wants to contribute to a better workplace. You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of your rights, your responsibilities, and the practical steps you can take to ensure that harassment has no place in your work environment. This isn’t just knowledge—it’s action.
What Makes This Course Different
We understand that sexual harassment training can sometimes feel dry and disconnected. That’s why we’ve designed this course to be different. It’s built around storytelling and real-life case studies that will keep you engaged and help you understand the human impact of harassment. It’s about more than just compliance—it’s about creating a cultural shift.
You’ll explore the deeper emotional and psychological effects harassment has on individuals and teams. Understanding these hidden consequences will make you a more empathetic and effective leader, coworker, or HR professional. By the end of this course, you won’t just be prepared to react to harassment—you’ll be equipped to prevent it from happening in the first place.
Building a Culture of Respect
Sexual harassment doesn’t just harm individuals—it erodes entire organizations. A workplace where harassment is unchecked is one where trust, creativity, and collaboration break down. On the other hand, a workplace that actively fosters respect and prevents harassment is one where innovation and productivity thrive.
This course will guide you through designing and implementing effective policies that go beyond just checking a compliance box. You’ll learn how to create living policies that resonate with your team, ensuring they understand the procedures for reporting harassment and what consequences exist for violations. You’ll also gain clarity on how state and federal laws apply to your organization in practical, actionable ways.

You’ll develop leadership skills that will set you apart in any industry, whether you’re in management, HR, or just starting your career. You’ll leave with the confidence to spot potential problems before they escalate, handle complaints with professionalism and empathy, and foster an environment where everyone feels respected and heard.

Lesson 1: Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
Sexual harassment is one of the most pressing issues in today’s corporate and personal spheres. In an age of increased awareness and activism, this topic has come to the forefront, affecting industries across the board. Despite this, the reality remains sobering: sexual harassment continues to persist, often in forms that are less visible but just as damaging.Lesson 2: Assessing Problem Situations and preventing sexual harassment
Sexual harassment in the workplace remains one of the most pervasive yet preventable issues facing organizations today. While legal guidelines have been established to define and address harassment, the key to fostering a harassment-free environment lies in proactive prevention.Lesson 3: Responding Effectively to sexual harassment (recognizing and reporting incidents)
Sexual harassment in the workplace is an issue that can deeply affect both individuals and organizations. While the focus is often on preventing harassment, effective response and resolution are equally important. When an incident occurs, how it is handled can either escalate the problem or bring closure, healing, and justice to the parties involved.Lesson 4: Understanding the Law - State and Federal
Sexual harassment is a component of a broader legal framework designed to address and eliminate discrimination in the workplace. As our societal understanding of equality evolves, so too does the body of laws that govern workplace behavior, ensuring individuals are treated fairly and with respect.Lesson 5: Designing Policies and Procedures
Creating a sexual harassment policy is not just about legal compliance—it's about fostering a safe, inclusive, and respectful workplace.
