Anti-Harassment: 04. Writing and Communicating Anti-Harassment Policy

A well-written sexual harassment policy will make your workplace a better, safer place to work. It could also help prevent a potentially catastrophic lawsuit. But this policy is just words on paper unless you communicate it, train on it, and hold people accountable to it. In this course, we’ll go over the EEOC’s policy-writing requirements and talk about the contents you should include in your sexual harassment policy. We’ll go over how to define and clarify what sexual harassment is and how it shows up at work. Policies need to outline the complaint process, so we’ll discuss that here. We’ll also go over how to seek legal approval once your policy is written.
