Overview of the webinar
Knowledge is power. Understanding what laws govern workplace sexual harassment helps employers create a safe and supportive workplace, and mitigates conflict, poor employee morale and lawsuits.
In this safe, supportive and interactive workshop, lead by a trained counselor and former HR leader, employees and managers will raise their awareness of what constitutes sexual harassment, understand their rights, and become more empowered to take a stand and manage unwanted behavior.
The US Equal Opportunity and Employment Commission defines sexual harassment in the terms below:
- It is unlawful to harass a person (an applicant or employee) because of that person's sex. Harassment can include "sexual harassment" or unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature.
- Harassment does not have to be of a sexual nature, however, and can include offensive remarks about a person's sex. For example, it is illegal to harass a woman by making offensive comments about women in general.
- Both target and the harasser can be either a woman or a man, and the victim and harasser can be the same sex. Retaliation for reporting unwanted behavior is also against the law.
- The harasser can be the victim's supervisor, a supervisor in another area, a co-worker, or someone who is not an employee of the employer, such as a client or customer.
Even with these guidelines, sexual harassment maybe difficult to discuss, document and report.

Why should you attend?
Unfortunately, in the corporate workplace, 75% of workplace sexual harassment goes unidentified and 39% of employees don’t believe their concern will be addressed. Many of the people doing the harassment are in positions of power, therefore making taking action harder.
This leaves the people who have been harassed feeling anxious, isolated, diminished, and not sure about the best next steps to take. Targets may experience both physical (headaches, stomachaches, insomnia etc.) as well as fear, self-blame, self-doubt, depression and withdrawal.
However, there are powerful steps employees and leaders can take to moderate and diminish unwanted behavior.
