Throughout this process we teach basic communication skills that are critical to creating positive interactions. This kind of awareness sets the stage for change where it is needed, and for new insights that create a better work environment for everyone. This program utilizes 2 facilitators for up to 30 participants. Most sexual harassment trainings promote unilateral harassment rules that tend to drive conflict underground and paradoxically, often breed more distrust and hostility in the work environment than existed previously. However, in our experience, most gender conflict on the job can be avoided by developing protocols for communication that acknowledge the real differences that often exist between women and men.
High performance demands open lines of communication.
Gender conflict reduces productivity, contributes to job-related stress, and increasingly results in grievance suits. Sexual Harassment trainings are designed to educate the entire organizational culture. Anxiety and fear between women and men are reduced, communication is enhanced, and a collegial approach to gender conflicts is established. All points of view are valued and both sexes are considered equally part of the problem and part of the solution. Our trainings are proactive, preventative, and inclusive.
