(20 Minute Video - VHS or DVD Format)

Every employee has the right to enjoy a harassment-free work environment!

Every organization has the responsibility to maintain a harassment-free workplace!

Harassment and Diversity shows how harassment can creep into any diverse workplace, and provides clear guidance on how to put a stop to it. Harassment is not just about sex. It can also be about race, religion, age, disabilities and other protected characteristics.

The video's dramatized story shows an all-too-common situation, where friction between employees grows from "just kidding around" into illegal harassment. It contrasts appropriate and inappropriate responses to harassment complaints and details the steps necessary to resolve the situation and protect both the company and the affected employees.

Diversity World Comment: We found this video to be engaging and informative - clearly communicating what constitutes "harassment" and how it should be dealt with appropriately - respecting diversity amongst coworkers and protecting them from intended and inadvertent harassment. We were additionally surprised and pleased that the producers used "disability" as the main focus of harassment depicted in the dramatization. Non-US Customers: Please note that while the principles of discrimination and harassment have universal applicability, there are some specific references to US legislation. Customer Responses: While our customers have been impressed with the quality of this video and its handling of the issues, many have felt that it is more appropriate as a training tool for Managers and Supervisors than for front-line employees.
