Produced - 2007 Just one person speaking up can inspire others to do the same. What do you do if someone you care about is the target of demeaning stereotypes? What if you are being demeaned or stereotyped? How often do you speak up on behalf of respect? This new program, based on the book by Leslie Aguilar, can be used for training on Diversity & Inclusion, Communication, Teamwork and Leadership. Why is OUCH! important? Staying silent in the face of demeaning comments, stereotypes or bias allows these attitudes and behaviors to thrive. This undermines our ability to create an inclusive workplace where all employees are welcomed, treated with respect and able to do their best work. Yet, most employees and leaders who want to speak up don't know how. So, we say nothing. What Does OUCH! do? In a unique and powerful way, viewers will experience the impact of stereotypical comments, explore why people don't speak up against stereotypes and other biased behaviors, and learn six techniques for speaking up without blame or guilt. OUCH! Learning Objectives:
Program includes: 12 minute DVD or VHS video, Speaking Up Activity 5 min., OUCH! That Stereotype Hurts with vignettes 13 min., CD-ROM with Leader's Guide, Powerpoint presentation, 1 OUCH! book and 10 OUCH! reminder cards
Who said you shouldn’t sweat the small stuff? What if those small things undermined morale and reduced productivity? This diversity program, Drop by Drop, demonstrates how the small slights, subtle discriminations and tiny injustices can add up to big problems in your workplace! These little negative gestures are called “micro-inequities” and they occur in organizations every day. These small communications of disrespect, prejudice and inequality aren’t overt, but they can be incredibly destructive. A poison in the workplace that isn’t delivered in a bucket, but takes its toll drop by drop. The program opens with an unhappy ending – the resignation of a frustrated employee. We then explore the workplace responsible for creating this situation. The program’s host engages and challenges the viewer with his strange perspective on our insensitive behaviors. He walks us through several examples of micro-inequities that could easily be avoided and then shares the key concepts for creating an inclusive and productive work environment: Put a stop to the disrespectful little “paper cuts” co-workers unknowingly inflict upon each other. Raise awareness and emphasize the importance of maintaining a thoughtful and respectful workplace with Drop by Drop. Key Learning Points:
Includes: A 19 minute DVD (English and Spanish versions – many also include Portuguese), comprehensive leader’s guide, PowerPoint Presentation on CD-ROM and Drop by Drop Handbook

We are exposed to a daily barrage of media images and advertising messages, all designed to appeal to our sexuality. And yet, when it comes to work, we're expected to check it at the door, like a coat we take on and off at will. There are plenty of training programs that deal with preventing sexual harassment in the workplace. They define sexual harassment. They give examples. Some teach managers how to create a harassment-free workplace. Some teach sexual responsibility. Let's Get Honest: A Motivational Video - 15 minutes The LET'S GET HONEST package is the first to address how difficult it is to live in a sexually-charged society while working in an environment that is supposed to be void of anything sexual. The Program sets a whole new standard in sexual harassment training. A beautiful program, it is remarkably human in its approach and message. It speaks candidly to employees regarding the difference between their work life and personal life. Engaging, insightful and occasionally humorous it offers employees a real world perspective, presenting surprisingly honest solutions to a variety of workplace issues ranging from flirting and dating to clueless behavior and predatory harassment.

He Said, She Said: Interactive Sexual Harassment Workshop - 26 minutes HE SAID, SHE SAID has been designed to help employees evaluate their own conduct as it relates to sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior at work. Seven interactive scenarios use riveting performances and twisting plot lines to subtly challenge employees beliefs and perceptions. As employees progress through each scenario they first hear from the alleged victim as they present their view of the events in question. The DVD pauses and employees are asked to come to an initial conclusion. Discussions follow, which allow conflicting points of view to be aired and explored. Then as the scenario continues, employees are forced to explore for the facts and read between the lines as they hear from the alleged harasser and witnesses. In the end it becomes apparent that sometimes our bias, perceptions and behaviors may need to be re-evaluated.

This program is also available for online training. See details below. Sexual harassment at work is more than a legal issue. It is fundamentally a behavioral problem. PATTERNS takes on the behavioral challenge, arming employees and managers with the information they need to prevent sexual harassment and the tools that will help them to respond when incidents occur. Through a series of short dramatizations this series describes common patterns of illegal or inappropriate behavior at work and how best to respond. We explore the habitual harasser, the smitten harasser, the bully and the jilted harasser. We also examine problematic management responses to harassment incidents, including the ostrich, the chameleon, the wounded tiger and the mother hen. Lawyers and HR professionals review each situation and present positive alternatives. Each program in the series can stand alone and may be licensed separately. There are volume discounts if you license the entire series or multiple copies of any program. Each program includes a comprehensive facilitation guide and reproducible handouts as well as optional PowerPoint slides at no additional cost. Series Objectives This new 3-program series, PATTERNS, is intended to explore the behavioral side of sexual harassment, arming employees and managers with the tools they need to effectively prevent incidents in the first place, and to respond appropriately when they either feel harassed or are aware of harassment occurring. Program 1, Preventing Sexual Harassment (26 minutes), looks at four common patterns of inappropriate behavior – the habitual harasser, the smitten harasser, the bully and the jilted harasser. How we respond to harassment will be most effective when we recognize why the behavior is occurring. This program arms employees with information and insights to help them determine the best way to get the behavior to stop. A series of dramatizations bring each pattern to life. Attorneys, human resource professionals and a troupe of exceptional actors take us through the legal, psychological, cultural and moral issues. Program 2, Responding to Sexual Harassment (26 minutes), is an extension of the first program in both style and content, and we recommend that managers view both parts of the series. Program 2 examines the legal liability issues and questions of personal responsibility that managers and supervisors must face. Using dramatizations, we explore different patterns of how managers often respond to sexual harassment incidents, including the ostrich, the chameleon, the wounded tiger and the mother hen and present more effective alternatives. Finally we discuss how incidents should be investigated and best resolved. Program 3, Rights & Responsibilities (10 minutes), is a brief introduction to the issue of sexual harassment prevention intended for new employees. This orientation program describes what sexual harassment is, how it is damaging to the person being harassed, the harasser, the workgroup and the organization, and what an employees rights and responsibilities are in this area. Support Materials The PATTERNS series comes with a comprehensive Facilitator's Guide. Handout pages are incorporated into the guide. Trainers need only to decide which topics would be relevant for individual distribution and which to copy as transparencies. Some handouts are also available as PowerPoint slides, provided on disk at no additional cost when you license the programs. With the purchase of this series, you can make as many copies of the handout / transparency pages as you need for your organization. Online Training Option: This program is also available over the web or over your company’s network. This option makes it is easy for you to deliver video to any employee’s desktop at any location with web access. The online program includes:

Glimpsed pornography is reported and proves an immediate termination. "He changes his computer screen real quick." When an employee is reported for viewing pornography at work, his next move is retaliation. How can a manager prove or disprove he was even the guilty party? And if proven, how solid is the manager's case against the employee? This Training Trigger focuses on termination. When shown without comment, it leads to a spirited discussion of the legal risks of leaping to judgment, as well as the legal risks of taking no action when rules are broken. Length: 59 minutes
A manager finds he has fired only one of multiple employees who allegedly broke a cardinal rule. Then, additional rule violations surface. "His lawyers are going to eat us alive." This Training Trigger starts lively discussions concerning management due diligence before enforcing what seems a cut-and-dried cardinal workplace rule concerning termination. Is the employee being subjected to harassment? Also introduced is an additional complication: discovery of an additional firing offense. Does the first offense get dismissed? Does acting on the second offense risk additional charges of selective enforcement? **Please note that all purchase and rental orders should be available within a 72 hour period. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns. Length: 1:29 min.
