This course is intended for employees to learn about the basics of sexual harassment and discrimination and for supervisors to learn appropriate managerial response to sexual harassment and discrimination in the healthcare workplace. While some inappropriate scenarios involving sexual harassment or discrimination are obvious, others may be unintentional but just as damaging. Supervisors will learn methods to prevent and address harassment and discrimination in their employee teams through descriptive narratives and example scenarios, focused on abiding by federal and state law and following their healthcare facility’s policies. Definitions and examples of various forms of harassment and discrimination are outlined to advise supervisors in the identification of problematic behavior and develop the skill set needed to handle the investigation process. This course includes both ungraded practice questions and an assessment exam upon completion.
This course includes four different versions for different audiences:
- Employee version
- Supervisor version
- Employee version, specific for California requirements
- Supervisor version, specific for California requirements
