Respectful Workplace Training

UW-Eau Claire Continuing Education is offering “Respectful Workplace Training”:

“This respectful workplace online training will cover current topics such as #metoo and welcoming diversity beyond legal compliance training by focusing on training bystanders to become allies. Help create a zero-tolerance workplace.

Creating respect in the workplace

When employees feel respected in the workplace, everyone wins. Even though the #MeToo movement has prompted vital conversations on sexual harassment, toxic work environments are more commonly created by reoccurring slights to employees.

In this respectful workplace training, you will be treated as a potential “ally” versus being confined to the roles of “victim” or “harasser”. By focusing on training bystanders to become allies, this approach draws attention to the fact that we’re all impacted by bullying, incivility, microaggressions, and other misconduct in and out of the workplace. Learn how to create a respectful workplace that welcomes diversity beyond legal compliance training.

Topics you will discuss:

• How to identify what incivility, microaggressions, and other misconduct might look like.
• How to support coworkers who experience misconduct.
• How to create an atmosphere of zero tolerance.”
