Anti-Harassmen Chapter 1 -- Why Anti-Harassment Training?
This is Anti-Harassment, Chapter 1 by Informed Workplace. Workplace
harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and bullying can devastate a business
and the individuals involved, culturally, financially, and legally. And,
depending on state law, harassing or discriminatory conduct may expose managers
and even employees to individual or personal liability along with the employer.
Here's what we have foun Employers and employees don't know what they don't
know. They don't always know what the law says they should or shouldn't say, or
do, in the workplace. They don't know all of the protected classes and
therefore, how to determine whether a joke, or a comment, or an action they are
about to take is appropriate. They think that because employees are at-will,
they can be hired and fired for any and all reasons. Here's what's key to kno
not everything is a matter of common sense like we think it is. There's more to
it than that.It is highly recommended that the Anti-Harassment chapters be

Anti-Harassmen Chapter 2a -- The Protected Zone, Part 1
This is Anti-Harassment, Chapter 2a by Informed Workplace. In order for
workplace harassment, discrimination, or retaliation to be illegal, at a
minimum, it must involve a protected class. Both federal and state laws prohibit
us from taking actions based on someone’s membership in a protected class or to
harass them, or allow harassment of them, because of their protected class. What
are the protected classes? There is a list, which will be covered over the next
two chapters. In this chapter, we will take a look at four of the federally
protected classe religion, national origin, disability, and pregnancy.It is

Anti-Harassmen Chapter 3a -- What is Harassment and Discrimination
This is Anti-Harassment, Chapter 3a of eight by Informed Workplace. Not every
inappropriate thing that takes place in the workplace is illegal. In Chapter 3a,
we answer several very specific questions, which also happen to be the most
frequently asked questions we hear from both employees, and manager What kind
of speech or conduct in the workplace is considered to be illegal harassment or
discrimination? And what exactly is a hostile work environment? Doesn't it have
to be unwelcome? To answer our questions, we will discuss what the courts see as
the difference between merely inappropriate behavior and truly harassing
behavior. We will look at the severe and pervasive standard as well to help us

Anti-Harassmen Chapter 4 -- Determining if Harassment Exists
This is Anti-Harassment Chapter 4 of eight by Informed Workplace. Many people
believe that these kinds of complaints are so subjective and that anyone and
everyone can make and win a claim for harassment or discrimination. These are
myths. Claims of this nature are not determined on a whim. There are
predetermined standards used to objectively assess a set of facts and determine
if illegal harassment, discrimination, or retaliation took place. We assess
these situations using the reasonable person standard and look closely at the
context and intent of the parties. In Chapter 4 we also spend some time on
workplace bullying, a concept not yet illegal in this country, but one that many
employers are choosing to prohibit just as they do harassment and discrimination
involving a protected class.It is highly recommended that the Anti-Harassment

discrimination, and what are their responsibilities to employees once they have
knowledge of such speech or conduct? Knowledge on the part of the employer, as
we will discuss, is crucial. We will also discuss what to do if and when you
believe you are the victim of harassment or discrimination, or retaliation; who
to complain to, when, and how. And what happens if you don’t complain?It is

right to expect several things from their employer, and fellow co-workers. In
this chapter we will discuss when and how employers should go about conducting
investigations, how to protect an employee's confidentiality, and what to do to
