To prevent vulnerability to sexual harassment allegations, an organization must provide access to training for all employees and document their participation in and completion of the training program. Sexual harassment training should explain the law that prohibits sexual harassment, identify the actions that may be categorized as sexual harassment, describe the company's policy and its grievance procedures. However, the training should also heighten awareness of sexual harassment and present strategies for intervention. Effective programs define sexual harassment and provide information on its incidence . Training programs should ensure that participants understand these definitions so that they can construct their own meanings of sexual harassment as they discuss the experiences of others.
Effective programs reflect good teaching and learning practices .
They offer participatory, problem-based learning experiences that are interactive and actively engage the student in learning. They present information from a positive viewpoint, encouraging healthy behavior rather than forbidding poor behavior. Effective programs teach intervention skills . Help learners to interpret which behaviors signify harassment. Encourage participants to share their experiences and their intolerance for certain behaviors as a means of illustrating their common ground.
