Sexual Harassment Prevention Training for Employees in Connecticut

Course Description:

Even though workplace sexual harassment has been illegal for decades, it remains a persistent problem that goes largely unreported.
Sexual harassment is offensive conduct that undermines an otherwise respectful workplace because it:
Creates a negative work environment in which people are tense, fearful, uncomfortable, and often humiliated;
Interferes with effective job performance;
Undermines trust and respect and makes good working relationships impossible; and
Exposes your organization to liability.
This training is important because your employer is committed to maintaining a respectful workplace for all employees.
