As employers and employees, it’s our responsibility to create safe and respectful work environments for everyone. One way to do that is by offering comprehensive training on preventing and addressing sexual harassment in the workplace. In particular, e-learning modules are an effective and convenient way to educate employees and employers alike.

Third-party sexual harassment can be particularly challenging to recognize and address, which is why it’s essential to include this topic in any sexual harassment training program. An e-course on this topic can provide employees with the tools and knowledge they need to identify and address third-party sexual harassment in the workplace.

For example, in a marketing agency, third-party sexual harassment can come from clients, vendors, or partners. An e-course can provide examples of inappropriate behavior, such as a client making unwanted sexual comments towards an employee or a vendor making inappropriate sexual advances towards an employee at a networking event. By providing these examples, employees can better understand what constitutes sexual harassment and how to respond appropriately.

In a technology company, third-party sexual harassment can come from clients, customers, suppliers, or contractors. An e-course can provide examples of inappropriate behavior, such as a customer making sexual comments or sending explicit images to an employee via social media or messaging platforms, or a consultant making unwelcome sexual advances towards an employee while working on a project. By providing these examples, employees can recognize the different forms that third-party sexual harassment can take and know how to respond accordingly.

By offering e-learning modules on preventing and addressing third-party sexual harassment, employers can take a proactive approach to creating a safe and inclusive workplace environment. These courses can provide employees with the knowledge and tools they need to recognize and address inappropriate behavior from clients, vendors, or other third parties. In turn, this can help to prevent sexual harassment and create a more respectful and supportive workplace for everyone.

In conclusion, e-learning modules on preventing and addressing third-party sexual harassment are essential for creating safe and respectful workplaces. By providing employees with the tools and knowledge they need, employers can take a proactive approach to preventing sexual harassment and promoting a more inclusive workplace culture.
