BENEFITS OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT PREVENTION TRAINING

• The work environment becomes safer: Causing stress at work, sexual harassment is instrumental in creating an unsafe workplace. The feelings of discomfort and fear created by this can be eliminated by training, which warrants a safe work environment that assures quality, efficiency, and profits.
  
• Workplace culture is strengthened: By communicating an organization’s policies, goals, and values to its various members, training strengthens organizational culture and motivates individuals.
• Training encourages reporting and empowers bystanders: The otherwise unreported discrimination and harassment will come out to the open when effective training is provided. Not just the individuals, the bystanders are also educated about the expected and accepted behaviors in the workplace.
• Compliance risk is reduced: When your workforce is untrained and ignorant of sexual harassment issues, your business is at potential legal, financial, and professional risk that might prove expensive. Training saves you from the consequences of such factors
