It is my goal to ensure that all CDSS employees receive sexual harassment training in a manner that is both effective and expeditious and I believe this new methodology will accomplish that. I firmly believe that no one should be required to endure sexual harassment or work in a hostile environment as a condition of employment.
Training is one of the most effective ways of preventing sexual harassment in the workplace.
It will also provide information on your rights and responsibilities and how to prevent sexual harassment in your work environment. As we all know, sexual harassment in the workplace can be very costly and lead to personal and departmental financial liability. Although money is a critical issue in any business, sexual harassment creates a great deal more than money problems. It creates a negative impact on the physical and emotional well-being of employees, which in turn affects the people we serve. It decreases productivity and morale and increases turnover.
