The Harassment-Prevention Essentials for Managers program addresses, from a manager’s perspective, a problem that takes a significant toll on employees’ mental and physical health and on the health of organizations. Harassment is unfortunately a common occurrence. That’s why it’s important for managers and supervisors to understand what harassment is and to know how to deal with it.
Harassment causes stress, depression, absenteeism, and employee turnover. It adversely affects people who witness it, as well as its targets. Harassment is a source of embarrassment and frustration to too many people. It negatively impacts the workplace in terms of productivity and effectiveness, and it negatively impacts our well-being at work in terms of job satisfaction, performance, and physical and emotional health. Their position of authority affords managers and supervisors a unique opportunity—and a special responsibility—to prevent and effectively address instances of harassment in the workplace.
The Harassment-Prevention Essentials for Managers training program provides the essential information that all managers and supervisors need to have in order to understand the issues surrounding the problem of workplace harassment.
