Harassment Prevention
Sexual harassment prevention is a major preoccupation for
organizations committed to providing safe, respectful work
environments for their employees. Our new 3-program series,
PATTERNS, is intended to explore the behavioral side of
sexual harassment, arming employees and managers with the
tools they need to effectively prevent incidents in the
first place, and to respond appropriately when they either
feel harassed or are aware of harassment occurring.
Our acclaimed series Subtle Sexual Harassment is a
2-program series (one for all employees, the other for
managers) that explores issues like dating at work, the
impact of workplace rumors, sexual banter among team
members, and much more.
Harassment goes beyond gender issues. Racial, religious,
ethnic and other forms of workplace harassment are equally
dangerous to an organization and its employees. Our series
You Can STOP Harassment is a 2-program series (one for all
employees, the other for managers) that looks at all forms
of illegal work-related harassment.

Ethics in the Workplace
How do you make better ethical decisions at work? Just
because a particular choice is legal does not make it right.
Seeing legal compliance as the goal of ethics rather than
the starting point can lead to poor decision making with
disastrous consequences for the individuals involved and
their organizations.
Our two-program series Compliance is Just the Beginning
introduces a three-step process for handling tough ethical
decisions.

Y different. What experiences have influenced their
attitudes, values and work styles? What do they need to be
successful at work? How can organizations engage and inspire
them to maximize their impact and productivity?
How should we communicate in a world where differences in
perspective, experience, job function, culture, gender, age,
and a myriad of other factors often lead to distrust,
misunderstanding and reduced productivity? We can all
benefit from learning the tools of dialogue - how to
communicate across differences in a way that is both
respectful and effective. Dialogue is how you communicate
when you're having trouble communicating.
Through a series of short dramatizations the unique Dialogue
- Now You're Talking! series explores the rules and
techniques that distinguish a Dialogue from other forms of
communication, such as debate or negotiation. The series
examines how we can surface the often unspoken assumptions,
in ourselves and in others, that can stand in the way of
effective organizational communication. In so doing we build
mutual trust and respect.
