Ending Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

Program Overview

Ending Sexual Harassment in the Workplace is a prevention training designed for businesses and organizations that want to create safer, more respectful work environments. The program addresses sexual harassment and workplace sexual violence while focusing on prevention, accountability, and supportive response.

Sexual harassment is widely underreported, and many employees do not feel safe or supported when harm occurs at work. This training helps staff and leadership understand what sexual harassment looks like, how power dynamics contribute to harm, and what effective prevention and response can look like in practice.

Developed by Our Voice, this training is grounded in trauma informed and prevention focused principles and is designed to support culture change rather than one time compliance.

Who This Training Is For

Ending Sexual Harassment in the Workplace is designed for:

Employees at all levels
Supervisors and managers
Leadership teams
Businesses and nonprofit organizations
Workplaces across sectors

The training can be delivered to staff, leadership, or combined groups and can be adapted to fit organizational structure and needs.

What the Training Covers

This training provides clear education on sexual harassment and workplace sexual violence, along with practical tools for prevention and response.

Participants learn about:

What sexual harassment is and how it shows up in workplaces
The difference between appropriate behavior and harassment
Power dynamics and how they impact reporting and accountability
Legal frameworks related to workplace harassment
Setting and respecting professional boundaries
How to respond to disclosures with care and clarity
Bystander intervention strategies in the workplace
Creating and maintaining safer workplace culture

The training also explores how workplace norms and policies can either prevent or perpetuate harm.

Why This Training Matters

Workplace sexual harassment impacts employee well being, safety, and retention. When harassment is not addressed, it can lead to emotional harm, decreased productivity, and unsafe work environments.

Many organizations rely solely on policy or compliance based training, which often fails to change behavior or culture. Ending Sexual Harassment in the Workplace focuses on prevention, shared responsibility, and practical skills that employees and leaders can use in real situations.

By investing in education and accountability, organizations demonstrate a commitment to safety, respect, and long term cultural change.

How the Training Works

Ending Sexual Harassment in the Workplace is delivered as an interactive, discussion based training. The session emphasizes engagement, reflection, and real world application.

Training elements include facilitated discussion, scenario based learning, practical communication strategies, and opportunities for questions. Pre training surveys may be used to help tailor the session to organizational needs, and post training surveys support feedback and evaluation.

The training can be delivered virtually or in person and adjusted for time and group size.
