Never should any employee ever feel threatened in any way, shape, or form, especially when it comes to sexuality. Sexual harassment is a real problem, and it occurs all too often. We're going to teach you the basics of understanding what sexual harassment is, how to recognize it, what laws are there to help prevent it, and what you can do about it, if it ever happens to you. So you might be wondering, what is sexual harassment? Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title VII is a Federal act that applies to employers with 15 or more employees, including state and local governments. It also applies to employment agencies and to labor organizations, as well as to the federal government. The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is the organization responsible for conducting enforcement of Title VII. Title VII prohibits harassment of an employee based on race, color, sex, religion, or national origin. This training we will focus on discrimination based on sex-- specifically in regard to harassment where prohibited conduct is sexual in nature. It's vital for employers to have this training in order to reduce liability for harassment claims by helping prepare employees and supervisors. It is the employer's duty to prevent and correct harassment Employees also need this training in order to properly identify and report incidents of sexual harassment. Far too often people are afraid to report any kind of sexual harassment because they're afraid of losing their job or further being harassed. Title VII protects people from having to keep silent out of fear. All of the anti-discrimination statutes enforced by the EEOC prohibit retaliation for complaining about this discrimination or participating in complaint proceedings. The EEOC states that prevention is the best tool for eliminating sexual harassment in the workplace. Employers are strongly encouraged to take steps necessary to prevent sexual harassment from ever occurring. They should clearly communicate to employees that sexual harassment will never be tolerated. They can do so by providing sexual harassment training to their employees and by establishing effective complaint or grievance processes and taking immediate and appropriate action when an employee complains.
