Evolving from #MeToo – Sexual Harassment Prevention in 2019

Recorded Session
60 Minutes

Sexual harassment carries a heavy financial and social cost, with individual cases costing businesses tens of thousands of dollars and legal fees running past a hundred million. This 60-minute sexual harassment prevention webinar looks beyond the headlines at where harassment comes from and what employers can do about it.

You'll explore the history of sexual harassment and the underlying issues that lead to it, its long-term costs and effect on retention, and how to build effective prevention. The session helps you identify blind spots, respond in a way that has real impact, and reduce liability.

It also covers remediation tools, including how to support victims and use restorative approaches with employees whose behavior is a problem.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

News stories and victims' accounts show the problem clearly, but far less is said about why harassment happens and how to prevent and respond to it well. This session, led by a specialist in human behavior and sexual consent, approaches the topic in a practical way and leaves you with actionable steps and further resources.

It suits HR managers, executive directors, CEOs and business owners.
