Introduction to Respect at Work

  • Live practice of strategies for approaching difficult conversations

Accountability

  • Empathy, and taking responsibility for the impact of our actions when we cause harm

Intersectional Approach to Understanding Harassment

  • Just because the law says we have to do sexual harassment training doesn’t mean that sexual harassment is the only problem we’re facing. People are complex, and so are problem behaviors at work. Our training looks at national origin, religion, race, gender, sexual orientation and gender identity, disability, age and more.

  • Sexual orientation

  • Gender identity

  • Gender-based harassment

  • Pregnancy

Organizational policies, reporting and remedies

  • Policies and practices

  • Internal reporting mechanisms

In addition to being an active bystander and speaking up for others [against harmful behavior], I also felt more empowered [after the Respect in the Workplace training] to stand up for myself and my peers against the pressure to … minimize who we are and what we bring to our work.
