Sexual Harassment in the Workplace: Breaking the Silence Learning objective: Discuss sexual harassment in the workplace and techniques to combat Despite great efforts to train employees and enforce strong consequences for sexually harassing behavior, it still remains a great challenge for many, especially women. Victims of sexual harassment are often afraid to speak up and fear the consequences or impact on professional success and image. In this workshop, we break the silence by addressing this issue head on and supporting each other in protecting our rights to respect and honor in the workplace. At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to: a. Clarify the difference between appropriate, inappropriate, and illegal behaviors associated with sexual harassment b. Practice sending convincing messages to set appropriate boundaries c. Practice making positive decisions based on context and relationships d. Explore consequences of decisions and behavior e. Examine and challenge beliefs, definitions, and assumptions around sexual harassment
