SOME CASES OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT

THE PURPOSE OF THE EDUCATION ON SEXUAL HARASSMENT PREVENTION

While one of the purposes of Sexual Harassment Prevention training is to comply with the law, the more important goal is to review what constitutes sexual harassment prevention in the workplace and develop the skills necessary for a positive and safe work environment.

These skills can be learned and developed with the right attitude, coaching and training. This is particularly true in the case of a new supervisor from another country with a different cultural background and language.

Our programs are effective because they are adapted and designed for bilingual and bicultural Hispanics employees. Our teaching techniques include practical lectures, exercises, games, motivation, self-esteem exercises, real-case analysis and immediate application, both in the workplace and in the personal lives of participants.

Another important component of the effectiveness of our training is the immediate rapport that our experienced trainer, Eduardo Figueroa, develops with participants, managers and others involved in the decision-making process.

Length of training: 3 hours each session
Participants: Supervisors and managers
Group size: up to 20 participants each group
