This class not only covers sexual harassment; it also covers harassment based on race, national origin, religion, age, disability, and sexual orientation along with generalized types of harassing behavior.  Because of this broader coverage, Preventing Harassment in the Workplace helps to provide employers with a broader defense against liability than more narrowly focused sexual harassment training.

Case examples are used extensively in this program to help individuals understand and apply concepts.
