In early 2018, Alma worked to develop a comprehensive and engaging Sexual Harassment training. This training was informed by the high profile sexual harassment cases which flooded the public consiousness. It is hoped that this training helps to empower individuals to create and support respectful workplace cultures, and puts in to practice the lessons gleaned from what felt like an endless list of allegations.
Approaching this training in a modular way allows Alma to continually customize the and update content to meet clients’ needs. These updates happen on an annual basis, and as needed.
Modules and features include:
- A historical review of the legal landscape surrounding sexual harassment in the United States, as well as high-profile cases which have formed that landscape
- Animated scenarios presenting the common types of harassment: Quid Pro Quo, and Hostile Work Environment
- Recommendations for actions one might take as a bystander
- Details of the emotional and financial fallout of harassment
- Activities outlining how to receive harassment reports for individuals in supervisory roles
Optional add-on modules include:
- Dynamic and printable form for users to capture notes of harassment they may have experienced or witnessed
- What to expect during a sexual harassment investigation
- Recognizing predatory or high risk behavior and environments in the workplace
- A warning against ignoring or justifying harassment
- How to actively set an example within the workplace
