| Harassment
In The Workplace |
Harassment used to be a hot news topic.
Today, it is a hot legal issue for any employer whose corporate behavior is
not in alignment with Title VII.
The Human Resource
Store Can Help...
The Human Resource Store is comprised of a network of both local and
national specialists with expertise in
a variety of fields. Furthermore, we have members with credentials in
training on the issue of harassment.
Options
- Public
Workshops/Seminars
These give any attendee an introduction and overview of any new subject.
However, unless the attendee assimilates and integrates the knowledge
into a workable format, the value of the workshop is limited.
- One-on-One
Consultation
If personal attention or special coaching is needed on this subject,
this choice is highly recommended, especially for any manager or person
responsible for creating your harassment policy.
- Customized
Workshops
You can have a customized workshop on harassment created around your own
specific needs. This can be the best way to get the most for your money
by providing a workshop where company members can experience, share and
learn about internal issues unique to your company. From this you can
then create a group commitment to behavior you agree to and that is in
alignment with the law.

Definition of Sexual Harassment

- Submission in such conditions made
either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's

conduct by an individual is used as a basis for employment decisions
Such conduct has the purpose or effect of

Different Perspectives on Sexual Harassment
In an article
written by Geoffrey Glaser, he makes clear the need for people to
“develop a better understanding of what sexual harassment is and then what
to do if it occurs.
In fact, in a nationwide survey, a
divergence of opinion on the question of whether sexual harassment in the
workplace is exaggerated was discovered.
