MTI Launches New HR Training for Sexual Harassment & DEI

Over the past couple of years, states have begun to pass rules requiring businesses to have some level of training on sexual harassment and diversity/inclusion. In today’s business world, it is important for companies to have appropriate training on both to build a company culture that helps employees feel safe and respected. Here are just a few of the key reasons why it’s important to engage your employees and managers in training on both sexual harassment and diversity/inclusion:

Improves Your Company Culture

Anytime you invest in your team to improve the safety and respect among employees where they feel valued and accepted, it increases the morale and team atmosphere.

Builds Awareness of what is Acceptable and Unacceptable Behavior

In the workplace, every employee brings different backgrounds and experiences to the table.  Most employees probably have very different views on what is acceptable behavior. Training provides a known baseline for everyone to understand what will and will not be tolerated.

Sends a Message from Leadership

Providing training will send a clear message from leadership on what behavior they expect and lets workers know that leadership takes it seriously.

Empowers Employees to be Aware and Know what to Report

Many times, employees witness inappropriate behavior and are not acutely aware of it because of what they deem appropriate from their experiences. Training clearly defines what is unacceptable behavior, thereby empowering employees to be more aware and feel safe to report it to management.

Shows Goodwill and Commitment to Training in any Legal Process

Having training for all your employees and management on both sexual harassment and diversity/inclusion, with passing certificates for all employees in their HR file, demonstrates your commitment to providing the right path to acceptable and unacceptable behavior company wide. It demonstrates that leadership takes both of these seriously, by training your employees and managers on how to maintain a safe and respectable work culture.
