A Matter of Respect - DVD

Free Online Preview Available!

Harassment, whether direct or indirect, takes many forms. Innuendos, slurs, mimicking, jokes, leering, intimidation, touching, gesturing, threats, rumors, and the list goes on. Unfortunately, forms of harassment are taking place every day within most organizations. And, unless disrespectful behavior is recognized and appropriate action taken, it will continue and lead to low morale, poor productivity, and turnover.

After viewing this program and participating in the interactive discussion, participants will: 

• Get in touch with their feelings and express their reactions to the situational dramas presented in the program.
• Recognize and discuss direct and indirect forms of disrespectful behavior between co-workers and outside customers.
• Learn and role play (optional) the most effective approaches to confronting the harasser directly.
• Recognize that it may be necessary and appropriate to report harassment to a manager or human relations person in the organization.

This is an interactive learning session that will take between 45 minutes and one hour if used as designed. A variety of situations are presented as acted-out scenes. Each scene has a number which appears in the lower right corner. Scenes center around situations regarding: 

• Age
