One-on-One Sensitivity Training that Works

One-on-One Sensitivity Training Description

People who have been accused of harassment or discrimination often are required by their companies (or a court) to attend a sensitivity training course.

Unfortunately, in a classroom or online setting, they may be reluctant to ask questions directly related to their situations. And if they’re hostile, they may say nothing, fade into the background, disrupt the group, or share inappropriate and highly sensitive information.

We offer proven one-on-one sensitivity training for these employees facilitated by experienced attorneys who are also vetted coaches. Each session is custom designed with your management and Human Resources to:

Your unique corporate culture.
The specific allegations.
The results of your investigation.
Your desired outcomes.

The initial one-one-one session with the individual usually lasts for three hours. Some situations require multiple meetings with the same individuals, targeted homework between sessions, and follow-on 1×1 executive coaching to achieve the desired results.

The participant will receive a comprehensive reference guide that can be used going forward.

After the one-on-one sensitivity training session, management and HR will receive a verbal and/or written report on the outcome. We will make recommendations if we believe more in-depth counseling is required.

This one-on-one sensitivity training program has been successful in reducing hostility in people accused of harassment and discrimination, increasing their understanding of the legal parameters in which the company must act, and obtaining their buy-in to the process. Our clients report that participants are grateful for this practical and meaningful approach.
