Description
Creating a respectful workplace requires more than simply complying with employment laws. It requires leaders and employees who understand how to recognize, prevent, and appropriately respond to harassment, discrimination, retaliation, workplace bullying, unconscious bias, and abusive conduct before problems escalate.

LSA Global’s research-backed Workplace Harassment Prevention Training equips managers and employees with the practical knowledge and skills to reduce legal risk while fostering a culture of respect, accountability, and inclusion. Because harassment, discrimination, and retaliation negatively impact employee engagement, productivity, retention, and organizational performance, prevention is both a legal obligation and a business imperative.

Our live virtual, onsite, and webinar-based training programs satisfy workplace harassment prevention compliance requirements for California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, and New York while being customized to reflect your organization’s policies, values, culture, and business challenges.

Rather than relying on lecture-based compliance training, our highly interactive instructional design combines:

  • Real-world case studies
  • Video scenarios
  • Polling questions
  • Small-group discussions
  • Practical application exercises
  • Extensive participant Q&A

Every session is facilitated by experienced employment attorneys who are also accomplished facilitators and coaches. They translate complex legal concepts into practical, plain-English guidance using relevant stories, real-world examples, and appropriate humor to create an engaging learning experience that participants remember and apply.

FAQs

Workplace harassment prevention training helps organizations do more than satisfy legal requirements. Effective training equips employees and managers to recognize, prevent, and respond appropriately to harassment, discrimination, retaliation, bullying, and other inappropriate workplace behaviors. The result is reduced legal risk, stronger employee engagement, improved retention, and a more respectful, high-performing workplace.

Everyone benefits from workplace harassment prevention training, but managers and supervisors have additional legal and organizational responsibilities. Separate learning objectives for employees and leaders help ensure participants understand how to prevent inappropriate conduct, respond to concerns, fulfill reporting obligations, and create a workplace where employees feel respected, included, and safe.

Based upon discovery calls with key stakeholders, customized workplace harassment prevention training typically covers harassment, discrimination, retaliation, workplace bullying, unconscious bias, microaggressions, bystander intervention, respectful workplace behaviors, complaint reporting procedures, manager responsibilities, and your organization's specific policies and procedures. Real-world scenarios and interactive discussions help participants apply what they learn to everyday workplace situations.

Yes. Our workplace harassment prevention training programs are designed to satisfy applicable training requirements for California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, and New York. Programs are also customized to reflect your organization's policies, culture, industry, and workplace challenges, helping participants move beyond compliance to create lasting behavioral change.

Unlike generic compliance courses, our highly experiential and customized programs are led by experienced employment attorneys who also have extensive leadership, coaching, and facilitation experience. Participants learn through engaging videos, case studies, discussions, and practical workplace scenarios—not lectures or legal jargon. The focus is on helping people make better decisions, prevent workplace issues before they occur, and build a culture of respect, accountability, and inclusion.
