Workplace harassment is an  unwelcome conduct from colleagues, superiors, clients, vendors or anyone associated with the employee at workplace. Workplace Harassment can be based on a variety of factors that differ from one person to another, such as race, sex, and disability.Effective anti-harassment training goes a long way toward prevention.

An e-learning course on Prevention of workplace harassment is most relevant to the learners and also targeted to specific organizational requirements.  In this article, I will highlight few points on how a customized e-learning course can meet your specific workplace compliance requirements.

1. Better Compliance Awareness: Simply having an anti-harassment policy or sexual harassment policy is not enough. An organization is at risk if managers and employees are not trained to be sensitive to comments, gestures, behaviors, or mannerisms that may be construed as harassment.

Scenarios, case studies, Multimedia like animated videos, infographics etc in an e-learning program helps the employees across all levels to understand and to recognize harassment in the workplace and to appropriately respond to instances of harassment when they see them.It gives a clear picture to the employees on what is acceptable and what is not and does not leave anything to their imagination.

Creates a better workplace environment: Workplace harassment affects all employees around despite of not being the target. It makes them feel uncomfortable even if they are not the victim. Adapting to E-learning can change things around as it gives a transparent solution to any kind of stress that an employee might face.

 Multi-Purpose Use: A single online Course  can  benefit all employees like:

  • It acts as a refresher course for supervisors on prevention and how to handle a harassment complaint
  • Can be used to train new employees who have been joined the organization  after your last onsite harassment training.
  •  Employees who work remotely can go through the course  at their convenience instead asking them to  travel long distances to the training site

Reduces the training cost: By going digital you no longer have to bear the expenses like travel cost of outsation employees, trainer’s fees etc. E-learning encourages self-learning for the learners at their convenience which results in better transfer of knowledge. It also helps them in preventing harassment issue proactively, thereby reducing the cost of training by improving the value for money of your E-learning course.

Workplace harassment should never be ignored as it directly affects the reputation of the organization. Considering E-learning courses for such issues can be the best solution in overcoming them.  Check out our Award winning Course on Prevention of sexual harassment at the workplace(sample) at :
