This event will provide a comprehensive overview of the topic of Sexual Harassment in the Workplace. Employees will learn their rights and the steps they can take if they experience Sexual
Harassment. Employers will learn their responsibilities to create a safe, respectful workplace and how to respond to those who have been impacted in a compassionate and victim-centered manner.
