It's About Respect: Recognizing Harassment in a Diverse Workplace (Office Version) - DVD

Free Online Preview

As you know, it's extremely important to recognize the various forms of harassment and train all employees to prevent them in your organization. In addition to sexual harassment, there are liability issues associated with harassment based on race, color, national origin, religion, gender, disability, age and other characteristics protected by law. Harassment can take the form of jokes, negative stereotyping, hostile acts or simple thoughtless comments but the ultimate outcome is the same: emotional stress, low employee morale, reduced productivity, and even costly litigation.

The training package covers:

  • The various types and forms of harassment
  • The financial and hard-to-measure costs of harassment
  • Practical guidelines to prevent harassment
  • How to respond if you witness or become victim to harassment

Program includes: A 21 Minute Video or DVD, 50 employee handbooks and expanded leader's guide.

    • Conduct interviews, hire, and terminate employees without fear. Know the disability laws and rules, learn how to document management decisions and avoid discrimination claims.
    • Interpret and clarify key ADA issues. Learn how to handle medical examinations, physicals, psychiatric conditions, alcoholism and drug testing, and abuse in the workplace. Plus help on the government's new guidance on intellectual disabilities and hidden disabilities.

    Human Resources Administration Audio Conference on CD

    For every HR disaster that you face in your organization, you probably deal with many more minor (but persistent) aggravations with your workers every day -- everything from chronic tardiness in the mornings, lunch hours that stretch too long, and frequent absenteeism to harassment accusations, employee dishonesty, and workers who simply cannot get along.

    Unfortunately, dealing with these minor HR complaints can sap your energy and tie you in knots worse than any full-blown crisis. And it’s surprising how many landmark, precedent-setting state and federal court cases started out as simple workplace complaints.

    How can you handle these day-to-day employee problems most effectively? What steps could you take to prevent them in the first place? And, when do these minor issues become symptoms of larger underlying problems with your workforce?

    Order our 90-minute audio conference recording, which took place on December 20, 2006, and learn the basics of identifying, solving, and preventing common HR complaints. Our experts will share the most effective strategies for handling many different types of everyday HR concerns.

    You and Your Colleagues Will Learn:

    • The basic steps you should follow when addressing any HR complaint (major or minor) to protect your organization, and yourself, legally
    • How to tell the difference between isolated workplace incidents and symptoms of bigger HR problems
    • Proven techniques for addressing employee misbehavior that just falls short of triggering your standard HR discipline policies (e.g., occasional absences that are obvious paid-time-off abuses)
    • How you can take the pulse of your workplace and monitor these everyday HR concerns without turning into “Big Brother”
    • Hands-on, practical advice for resolving many common types of HR complaints -- everything from workers wearing too much fragrance or applicants stretching the truth on their resumes to employees who constantly argue with each other or who take frequent “smoke breaks”

    This conference took place on Wednesday, December 20, 2006.
