Harassment Prevention 4.0
For Immediate Release
San Francisco, CA and Washington, D.C., June 26, 2006 --
Workplace Answers, an award-winning provider of Web-based training in human
resources, unlawful harassment prevention, financial and ethics compliance, has
released version 4.0 of its Unlawful Harassment Prevention course. In addition
to an updated user interface that takes advantage of Macromedia Flash to
provide even more interactive content including video messaging, graphics,
animation, and simulations, Unlawful Harassment Prevention 4.0 tackles
workplace situations that reflect changing societal issues.
Twelve story lines and numerous scenarios provide employees with relevant
training on the difficult, uncomfortable, and often murky issues they face in
the modern workplace. In addition to helping employees at all levels of the
organization successfully handle new situations and create an inclusive
environment, Unlawful Harassment Prevention 4.0 provides organizations with the
ability to establish an affirmative defense by ensuring training content
reflects the latest state and federal requirements and changes to case law.
Unlawful Harassment Prevention 4.0 covers topics including the following:
• When are compliments about clothing or hairstyle appropriate in the workplace,
and when are they not?
• Is joking about someone's failure to drink alcohol unlawful harassment?
• Can employees discuss movies about sexual orientation, such as "Brokeback
Mountain" or "Transamerica" around the water cooler?
• Can an "Over the Hill" birthday party be considered unlawful harassment?
"Workplace Answers is not afraid to deal with the more gray areas of
harassment," says Lynn Lieber, Esq., CEO of Workplace Answers. "Our mission to
provide training that reflects what is happening in the workplace, and that
includes addressing issues such as transsexuality, plastic surgery, and
workplace discussions about reality TV shows.
"In developing an affirmative defense against claims of unlawful harassment,
companies must be able to prove that their harassment training is of high
quality and is complete," explains Lieber. "Workplace Answers has always
provided the highest quality content, and we’ll continue to push the envelope
to cover the most difficult situations."
