It's important to always respect others' boundaries and seek consent before engaging in any form of physical contact.
Companies have a responsibility to provide a safe and harassment free work environment for their employees and customers. Having a sound sexual harassment training program in place is the first step towards ensuring that the company is not exposed to the lost productivity, embarrassment and major financial repercussions that often result from a sexual harassment suit. Make sure that your company has an updated sexual harassment policy in place. A strict, zero-tolerance policy must be in place in order for your training to be effective. The company must have an organization-wide understanding of the policy, a process for reporting harassment and clearly defined investigative steps for following through on complaints. Explaining each of these areas, in detail, is the first step towards effective sexual harassment training. Administer pre-tests to your training class before starting your presentation. This will help to identify the collective understanding of the group prior to moving on with the curriculum. Knowing the level of understanding of the group you are training will help you to stay focused on the areas that are most lacking within the group. Use that knowledge to steer the training towards the areas that may be of most benefit to your specific group. Once the training has been completed, issue a post test to ensure that the group has retained and understood the material that has been presented. It is critically important to ensure that they have grasped the information that has been shared or the training will prove to have been a collective waste of time and money. If there are aspects of the training that do not seem to have been absorbed, you will need to cover those areas again to ensure that everyone is on the same page. This will also provide you with the opportunity to modify the training materials to assist future groups to better understand the information. Now that the training has been completed, do not simply sit back and assume that the information will be retained over time. It is important to conduct regular refresher courses to ensure that the team keeps the information fresh in their minds. These refresher courses are also a great time to introduce new information that has developed since the initial session.
You can go to the police and let them take care of it, because harassment if it is verbal, or sexual or whatever, is harassment none the less, and they can get in big trouble for that.
