You Can STOP Harassment Taking Responsibility

International Cindy Award

What distinguishes You Can STOP Harassment is its positive message. The programs in this series are not about pointing fingers and assigning blame. We all share responsibility for stopping workplace harassment. It isn’t easy work. The reasons for harassment are many and the roots run deep. Working together, however, we can make great progress toward creating workplaces where people feel safe, valued and free to do their best work.

After viewing Program 1, Taking Responsibility, and working through the printed support materials, participants should understand…

• what illegal harassment is and its impact at work
• the need to support our co-workers in facing up to harassment
• how to confront harassment to make it stop
• how to defuse disrespectful or harassing situations
• that not all harassment is intentional
• that it’s the impact of our behavior that counts, not our intentions
• the importance of setting appropriate boundaries
