Because managers and supervisors are often the first line of defense in preventing workplace harassment, they are also key individuals for those employers seeking to reduce potential legal exposure from claims of harassment and discrimination.

“Risky Business II: Strategies for a Harassment-Free Workplace” is designed to build on the foundation laid out in “Risky Business: Preventing Harassment.” In “Risky Business II” participants will be challenged to demonstrate their understanding of workplace harassment, including sexual and other forms of harassment. Application of core concepts learned in “Risky Business: Preventing Harassment” will be used when participants analyze the gray areas of harassment to provide appropriate responses to risky workplace situations.

A California version of “Risky Business II: Strategies for a Harassment-Free Workplace” is available for California’s AB 1825 legislation requiring mandatory harassment prevention training.
