The online training is provided to assist supervisors to identify and eliminate workplace harassment and discrimination based on "protected characteristics" by helping them understand the law and respond to misconduct appropriately.
The course also helps supervisors address inappropriate behavior before it creates a "hostile work environment" by giving supervisors the skills necessary to recognize and address abusive behavior and other misconduct, including microaggressions and unconscious bias, that may lead to workplace bullying or hostility, reducing productivity and creativity.
The training also invites supervisors to consider the nature of harassment and discrimination, and provides practical tips on creating a safe, inclusive environment for work, including safe and positive options for bystander intervention. Filled with engaging interactive exercises, it covers all aspects of a supervisor's role in promoting a harassment and discrimination free workplace.
Important tips:
- The complete course takes approximately 2 hours to complete.
- Once started you are able to save the training and re-visit the training at any time to complete it.
