Public and Private Sector
Sexual Harassment Training
Typical problems Randi Frank can help you resolve...
You have a sexual harassment policy and provided the mandatory
training to supervisors only. You now have a lawsuit of sexual
harassment between two employees who did not know about the policy
because of lack of distribution and training.
RFC can help you reduce these situations by providing training to
all employees at a cost that is tiny compared to a lawsuit settlement
ranging from $300,000 - $500,000. RFC can also rewrite or develop
appropriate sexual harassment prevention policies and follow up.
You want to prevent sexual harassment lawsuits
that may settle at $300,000 - $500,000.
RFC can help you by developing appropriate policies, training programs
and continued notification to all employees.
TEN TIPS TO REMEMBER ABOUT SEXUAL HARASSMENT PREVENTION
- All supervisors must be trained within 6 months of being hired
if proof of training is not available
- All supervisors must be trained to report any incident to Management
even if not related to their department
- All employees should be given a copy of the Sexual Harassment
Prevention Policy
- Sexual Harassment Prevention Policy must have a number of methods
for employees to report incidents or concerns that do not involve
only reporting to their immediate supervisor
- It is recommended that employees have the option to speak with
either a female or male management person about their concerns
- It is recommended that employees receive some training on this
issue so they understand how to report incidents
- It is recommended that supervisors and employees be trained or
receive a refresher course on Sexual Harassment Prevention every
2-3 years to remind them about the existing policy
- It is recommended that the Sexual Harassment Prevention Policy
be distributed every year
- Employers and employees can both be sued for Sexual Harassment
if they should have known it was happening. Employees can be arrested
if the sexual harassment falls into the sexual assault category.
- Employees who file a sexual harassment complaint cannot be retaliated
against. Retaliation cases can cost as much money in the courts
as Sexual Harassment cases.
