In addition to teaching managers and supervisors how to recognize sexual harassment, the manual provides step-by-step guidance on what actions managers and supervisors must take to prevent liability for sexual harassment, including: anti-harassment guidelines for managers and supervisors; managers' essential role in identifying and preventing conduct that is inappropriate, whether or not it can be defined as harassment; how managers and supervisors can reduce potential liability; and how to respond to an initial complaint of sexual harassment, including a sample response to a complaint of sexual harassment.
The Fourth Edition highlights the continuing evolution of sexual harassment law, with updated and expanded discussions of training required by law; sex, gender, and sexual orientation discrimination; what to do when confronted with an “equal opportunity harasser;” sexual favoritism; and how to address consensual sexual relationships in the workplace. New with the Fourth Edition is a sample sexual harassment policy.
Also includes a 20-question sexual harassment quiz for managers and supervisors to take before and after reviewing the manual. Employers may choose to collect their managers' and supervisors' post-training quizzes as a means to document the company's training efforts.
