An introduction to the purpose and goals of this course. Also, an introduction to the concept that team dynamics are influenced by peoples' culture skills.
The Workplace Colour Spectrum® Tool
This lesson explains the Workplace Colour Spectrum and how it can help managers and employees understand and categorise their conduct — and the conduct of others.
What Is Unlawful Harassment?
Review the definition of workplace harassment. Harassment typically involves conduct or comments relating to "protected characteristics." But what are they, and which ones apply in my workplace?
Bullying and Aggressive Behaviour
Help your employees understand, identify, and stop aggressive, bullying behaviour in the workplace.
Types and Forms of Harassment
Teach learners about the different types of harassment and how "quid pro quo" is different than "hostile work environment".
What is Unwelcome Conduct?
A hostile work environment always involves "unwelcome conduct." This lesson addresses how to determine when conduct is legally considered "unwelcome."
Red conduct is illegal and negatively impacts work culture. Help employees determine what it looks like and how to know when conduct is crossing the line from orange to red.
Who Can Be Involved in Harassment?
This lesson explains the reach of workplace harassment laws, who is protected, and who can be liable for harassing conduct.
In most harassment situations, someone outside the conflict knows what's going on. How do you go from being a passive bystander to an upstander who takes action to de-escalate the problem and uphold respectful norms of behaviour?
Employees have a right to raise a concern or complaint without fear of victimisation. This lesson teaches learners about when a situation and a management action crosses the line and may give the appearance of victimisation.
Managers shape workplace culture by modeling respect and addressing behaviour issues. This lesson highlights their role as the employer’s "eyes and ears" in handling people and harassment concerns.
Reporting, Investigations, and Workplace Policies
This lesson teaches employees how and where to report concerns of harassment, and outlines the employer’s investigation process when concerns are reported. All employers must have their own harassment and bullying prevention policy to highlight in this lesson. For employers who lack a policy, Emtrain provides a template that can be used to create one.
