Preventing Sexual Harassment for Supervisors and Staff

Danbury BOE Employees-Only Session
May 10, 2019
10:00 AM - 12:00 Noon   - Check-in begins at 9:30 AM

Learning Objectives

Sexual harassment is one of the most emotionally charged and legally complex issues facing managers today. It continues to make headlines, and costs employers millions of dollars in legal fees, lost productivity, and turnover.

Sexual harassment can happen anywhere at anytime to anybody. Nonetheless, employees are protected from sexual harassment in the workplace under federal and state law. Training employees to clearly understand what sexual harassment is--and what to do about it--is an effective and timely investment.

Connecticut municipalities with 50 or more employees are required to provide training on sexual harassment prevention to all of their supervisory personnel. All new supervisory employees must be trained within six months of their start.

This CIRMA training and education program helps participants to quickly learn how to apply the important elements of carefully and correctly handling sexual harassment issues and complaints.

This interactive training and education program:

• Defines sexual harassment.
• Explains the legal definitions of sexual harassment and the employer's responsibilities.
• Discusses ways to prevent sexual harassment.
• Explains how to handle sexual harassment complaints.
• Teaches how to build and maintain a positive, respectful work environment.

Audience This training and education program is designed for: Chief elected officials School superintendents School business managers Risk managers Human Resource professionals Department supervisors/managers All other staff

Location BROADVIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL (Auditorium) 72 Hospital Avenue Danbury, CT 06810
