About this training

Having a healthy and productive workforce depends largely on creating a work environment that is both safe and respectful. One major aspect of this includes actively curbing the prevalence of workplace harassment, a still-widespread social ill. Workplace harassment often takes different forms, some of which are quite common. This makes it an issue that is difficult to identify, report, and prevent.

Through this training, you will develop an understanding of what workplace harassment is and why it is so important in the discussion on workplace culture. You will also learn about the different forms it takes, gain an idea of its prevalence in Pakistan, and, in the deeply upsetting event that you witness or experience any, how you can report it.

By the end of this training, you will be able to:

1. Understand the importance of respecting others’ boundaries.
2. Recognize and identify the various types and sub-types of workplace harassment.
3. Able to distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable workplace behavior.
4. Summarize the impacts of workplace harassment on psychological health and workplace performance.
5. Recognize the prevalence of workplace harassment in Pakistan, and what its legal consequences are.
6. Carry out the necessary steps to report an incident of workplace harassment either formally or informally.
7. Understand the main channels to use when reporting workplace harassment, either those which are inside or outside the organization.
