Sexual Harassment
Workshop Objectives
This manual presents a workshop design on the topic of sexual harassment. The goal of the workshop is to raise participants’ awareness with respect to key issues related to the topic of sexual harassment. Learning objectives include:
- Achieving an understanding of the legal and practical definitions of sexual harassment in the workplace;
- Increasing knowledge of the range and types of behaviour that constitute sexual harassment;
- Gaining insight into the responsibilities of employers and managers; and
- Learning ways to reduce the liability of employers and managers for sexual harassment in the workplace.
Using the Leader Guide
This Leader Guide is intended to be used by the workshop leader(s) and should not be distributed to participants. It includes instructions for organizing and running a successful workshop.
It is recommended that all facilitators become familiar with all material related to this workshop, including the Leader Guide, Participant Guide and PowerPoint presentation. The Leader Guide is indexed so that the Leader can refer to corresponding material in the Participant Guide and PowerPoint presentation.
This guide includes discussion notes on the topic of sexual harassment; however, the workshop leader should have broader background knowledge on the topic. To provide that background, a bibliography of suggested reading and web sites is included with this guide. It is strongly recommended that any workshop facilitators review at least some of this material.
A Note on Jurisdiction
This presentation is suitable for both American and Canadian audiences. The examples used are based on cases from both countries.
While there is some difference in the language used, the legal and other principles related to sexual harassment are the same across North America.
