About this Event
Sexual Harassment is an all too prevalent issue within our workplaces. While prohibited, many individuals within the human service sector identify unwanted behaviors from co-workers, volunteers, or those we serve which make it difficult to continue their work. Employers have a legal responsibility to provide education, policy, and appropriate responses to prevent or address sexual harassment.
Participants will:
- Understand how NYS defines sexual harassment and prohibited behaviors
- Learn from real life examples of sexual harassment relevant to non-profits
- Understand their employee rights and reporting options
- Be introduced to the concept of a culture of respect.
This training meets the standards outlined by NYS for annual Sexual Harassment Prevention Training but will not include content on conducting Sexual Harassment Investigations.
