Creating a respectful workplace isn’t just about avoiding lawsuits—it’s about fostering trust, accountability, and open communication. Emtrain’s Respect Training helps organizations go beyond compliance by empowering employees and managers with the tools to recognize bias, prevent harassment, and strengthen everyday interactions.
Only 43% of employees responded “often” or “very often” to “If someone does something inappropriate in the workplace, people will let them know.”
Our Respect & Harassment Prevention Training features relatable stories that mirror real-life workplace situations. Each scenario is designed to help employees understand how bias, tone, and intent shape daily interactions—and how to intervene constructively.
We provide your employees with immediate feedback so they can see how their responses compare to others in your organization as well as all learners within the Emtrain client base. These insights combined with our proprietary Workplace Color Spectrum® allow employees to establish a shared language to talk about culture issues and surface potential conflict.
Emtrain’s Respect & Discrimination Prevention courses help employees and managers recognize bias, prevent discrimination, and model professional respect in every interaction. Through cinematic storytelling and interactive learning, participants explore real-world scenarios involving inappropriate behavior, unequal treatment, and exclusionary conduct.
Each course is designed to meet state and federal compliance requirements while helping organizations build a culture where every employee feels seen, valued, and treated fairly.
Keep the principles of respect and equity front-of-mind with short, engaging microlessons that reinforce anti-discrimination awareness throughout the year. Topics include identifying subtle bias, speaking up against disrespectful behavior, and creating safe spaces for honest communication. These bite-sized lessons empower your workforce to address discrimination early and sustain a culture of respect across all teams and roles.
When you take any of our Respect courses we embed risk pulse questions right into the trainings. This helps catch early on risks within leadership, a team, or department. Reduce ER Claims by using Emtrain Intelligence to spot risk in these core risk areas below.

Distinguishing harassment from inappropriate behavior isn’t always clear. Emtrain’s Employee Complaint Decision Tree, powered by the Workplace Color Spectrum®, helps both HR teams and employees characterize harassment or bad behavior with a few simple questions.
Workplace harassment is any unwelcome behavior—verbal, physical, or visual—that creates a hostile, intimidating, or offensive environment for an employee. It can include discrimination based on protected characteristics such as gender, race, age, disability, religion, or sexual orientation. Harassment often goes beyond overt misconduct to include subtle disrespect, exclusion, or bias that undermines a culture of equality. Emtrain’s Respect and Harassment Prevention Training helps organizations recognize and address these behaviors early to foster a safe, inclusive, and legally compliant workplace.
Unlike traditional, lecture-style harassment training, Emtrain uses cinematic storytelling and data-driven insights to teach employees how to apply respect in everyday decisions. Learners interact with real scenarios, receive feedback, and contribute anonymous pulse-check data that helps organizations measure workplace culture over time.
