In today’s business climate, it is critical for employers to establish and maintain a work environment that is free from harassment and discrimination.

Companies who have trained their managers on workplace harassment awareness and have also established anti-harassment and discrimination policies may think that they’ve done enough to reduce their risk. However, it is equally as important to train your employees to be sensitive about their own behaviors, comments, gestures, or mannerisms that may be construed as harassment or creating a hostile work environment and also understand how they can intervene as bystanders when confronting discrimination and harassment situations.

What our Harassment and Discrimination Training Covers

We train employees and supervisors to:

Recognize discrimination and harassment, including the comments, gestures, and behaviors that create a hostile work environment
Step in as a bystander when they see it happening
Know what to do when they’re the target of, or a witness to, harassment
Stay within the boundaries of respectful workplace behavior

We ground the training in current EEOC statistics and real case studies, including what the #MeToo era changed for employers.

Who Harassment Training Is For

Managers and supervisors, who carry extra responsibility to spot and respond to problems
Employees and individual contributors
On-demand, when live scheduling is tough
New hires and remote workers, so everyone gets the same message
Connecticut employers, with training aligned to CT requirements

Investigating Harassment & Discrimination Claims

Employers are responsible for conducting a thorough and prompt investigation into complaints of misconduct, discrimination, harassment and violence in order to properly identify, address and prevent recurrence of these problems.

EANE can provide an impartial third party. Our investigation services are conducted by skilled and experienced HR Professionals.

The true cost of harassment is more than legal fees. Harassment causes low morale, decreased productivity, increased turnover and reputational harm. To eliminate harassment in the workplace, employers must take proactive steps toward prevention.

Harassment Prevention Training

Whether you need to train your managers and supervisors, individual contributors, new hires or even remote workers, EANE offers training options that will influence a positive culture and reduce risk.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is this for employees or for supervisors

Both. We run separate sessions for managers and supervisors and for employees, because their responsibilities are different.

Is anti-harassment and anti-discrimination training available on-demand?

Yes. Live, facilitator-led sessions are the heart of what we do, and we offer on-demand options when you need to go at your own pace.

Does this meet state training requirements?

We offer training aligned to Connecticut’s requirements, and we can talk through what your state expects.

Can you investigate a harassment or discrimination complaint for us?

Yes. We provide an impartial third party. Experienced HR professionals conduct a prompt, thorough investigation into complaints of misconduct, discrimination, harassment, or violence.

How is this different from an online harassment course?

Our training is live and built to change behavior. Most online courses record a completion and stop there. We also step in to investigate when a complaint comes in, which an online course can’t do.
