Sexual Harassment: What Employees Need to Know

Course Description:

This course is about sexual harassment in the workplace. It’s an important subject because sexual harassment is a form of illegal discrimination under our Civil Rights laws, as well as under state law.

Our workplace also prohibits sexual harassment in the workplace, both because it is illegal, and also because it creates an unproductive, unpleasant, and sometimes even hostile working environment. And that’s not what we want for our workplace or our employees.

This course will cover what sexual harassment is, why it is harmful, and what you can do about it.
