What is this workshop about?
Workplace harassment is a serious issue that significantly affects employee well-being and productivity, job satisfaction, and overall commitment. Both moral and sexual harassment have devastating consequences for victims at various levels and leave deep scars on organizations as well. Awareness is crucial for implementing effective measures to prevent and combat harassment. Often, harassing behaviors are dismissed with phrases like, "It was just a joke."
