Yesterday’s anti-harassment training won’t cut it in the #MeToo era. Employers must take stock of steps they have taken to prevent and stop sexual harassment in the workplace, and identify how they will answer the clear call for truly effective anti-harassment training. In this podcast, Littler attorneys Demery Ryan and Marissa Dragoo discuss key elements of updated training according to the EEOC’s Select Task Force on the Study of Harassment in the Workplace, including addressing civility in the workplace, promoting bystander intervention, and helping employers develop situational awareness to recognize the potential for harassment before it starts.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode includes discussion of sexual violence. Listener discretion is advised. In today's episode, Jaye frames the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal and other sexual misconduct incidents currently in the news as part of a larger discussion on how we respond to oppression and violence. Why are many of us inclined to take the word of the accused if we can relate to them, or if they are powerful figures we like? At the same time, why do we hide behind “they weren't convicted” or “I wasn't there” to justify not believing the survivors? Jaye discusses the dynamic of privilege from a place of self-awareness and gives her thoughts on how we can better respond to people who share their experiences.
