2. Cost of Harassment
◦ For your business to avoid costly fines and reputation damage, sexual harassment training is essential. Fines up to
$1,000,000.00 can be imposed on your business, along with legal fees for the defense of a workplace harassment
case. To protect your employees and company, it is important to have documented HR training. Choose one of our
Workplace Harassment Training Programs to avoid costly fines. Education is the best way to deal with harassment
at work.

3. Sending a Clear Message
◦ The Workplace Harassment poster sends a clear message that sexual harassment is unacceptable in the
workplace. This poster contains examples of sexual harassment cases as well as information about how to handle
it. You can also record the contact information for a person to call in case of workplace harassment.

4. Training for Harassment
◦ Employers provide anti-harassment training to their employees in order to teach them how to avoid unacceptable
behavior at work. This training is intended to stop gender-based harassment at work and create a safe
environment for employees so they don't feel uncomfortable. There are many topics that anti-harassment training
covers. Some include eliminating biases and others focus on creating an environment of inclusion. Some have a
narrower focus, focusing on unacceptable behaviour in the workplace.

5. Dealing with Harassment
◦ Offensive behavior may include but not be limited to: offensive jokes and slurs; epithets or name-calling; physical
assaults or threats; intimidation, ridicule, mockery; insults or put downs; offensive objects or photos or interference
with work performance.

6. ◦ Anti-harassment training covers many topics but it's not meant to be a panacea. Training is not designed to solve
specific problems among employees. It also doesn't usually include consulting services for employers in building
their company policies (although this can sometimes be added on).

7. What is it?
◦ Employee anti-harassment training usually starts with defining sexual, gender and other forms of
harassment. Employees are often taught company policies and local regulations regarding harassment and
training. Training programs also explain these to them. Many training programs use real-life scenarios to illustrate
what constitutes harassment. They also teach employees how they can report it and comply with company
policies. Training programs may also include exercises that help employers create a more inclusive workplace
and/or help employees recognize and prevent bullying.

8. Why Its Important
◦ Sometimes, training may not be certified to meet state requirements. Employers are still responsible for providing
safe working environments. This is why anti-harassment training doesn't necessarily exempt them from their
responsibility. Employers could still be held responsible if employees experience harassment at work, even if they
provide ample anti-harassment training.
