Most harassment goes unreported. People worry about not being believed, making things awkward, or what happens to them afterwards. This in-depth compliance course helps staff anywhere in the world understand what harassment is, why it’s so often missed and how to respond when they see it.
Harassment is unwanted conduct that violates dignity or creates a hostile environment. Sexual harassment and sex-based harassment are part of the picture, as are intimidating behaviour, offensive language and gender stereotyping. Disability discrimination and cyber harassment matter too, and third-party harassment shows that clients and visitors can be involved. The best protection is a workplace where people trust the process. Allyship and the 4D bystander model help colleagues step in; a clear grievance procedure shows what happens next, and managerial responsibility means leaders must act, not wait. Victimisation of anyone who speaks up is never acceptable.
