Not only is sexual harassment illegal, but it also has many detrimental effects on the workplace and workforce. Our workplace also has a formal policy that prohibits sexual harassment in the workplace—a policy supervisors are responsible for enforcing. But beyond laws and policies, sexual harassment is very damaging to the workplace and work environment. After taking this course, supervisors should be able to recognize, prevent, and respond to sexual harassment.
This session is about understanding and managing workplace diversity. Diversity in the workplace means hiring and supporting employees that reflect with a wide range of backgrounds, and where everyone is expected to acknowledge and accept each other’s differences. Having a diverse workforce is a good thing, but it can also present some challenges.
Supervisors have an important role in effectively managing workplace diversity so that our organization can attract and retain high-quality employees who enjoy contributing to a respectful and productive workplace.
To get the most from employees of diverse backgrounds, you must demonstrate and encourage respect for all employees’ abilities and perspectives.
In this session, you will learn how to engage and lead a diverse workforce, promote our commitment to diversity, and avoid workplace discrimination and harassment based on diversity.
Today, we’re going to talk about progressive discipline. Progressive discipline is a method of applying discipline in steps, with the first offense meriting light correction and subsequent offenses receiving progressively harsher penalties. Typically, the discipline begins with a verbal warning and can progress to termination.
This training session will focus on harassment in the workplace. Harassment is a disturbing problem that has a negative impact not only on victims but also on the entire workplace. There are many kinds of harassment that violate the law and our organization’s policy. One of the most common is sexual harassment. But today, we’re going to talk about harassment on the job because of a person’s race, color, religion, or national or ethnic origin.
The main objective of this session is to help you understand the nature of harassment in the workplace, how you can help prevent it, and what to do if, despite our best efforts, it occurs in our organization.
Health insurance coverage is an important need for everyone, and without coverage, life could be crippling—both physically and financially.
HIPAA, which stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, was enacted to help employees secure health care while keeping their personal healthcare information private—along with helping to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the healthcare system.
Today, we’ll discuss HIPAA’s different aspects and how the law is there for you when it comes to your health and privacy.
Stress can be harmful to our health and increase mental health challenges.

This session is intended for all employees.
The purpose of today’s training session is to make sure you understand what’s required of you.
Today, we’re going to talk about business ethics. With all the pressures and concerns you face on the job, you might think that ethical concerns would be low on your list of priorities. But that would be a mistake.
Ethical conduct by all employees is essential for a business to succeed and prosper. In our organization we require all employees to act ethically at all times on the job.
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is meant to help employees take care of family and medical responsibilities while still maintaining their jobs and careers. As an HR professional, you are your company’s liaison with employees who need to take FMLA leave; therefore, you need to understand this law and the rules that apply to these situations. This course offers a high-level introduction to the FMLA for HR, familiarizing you with its foundation and generally applicable provisions. By the end of the course, you will be able to recognize when and to whom the FMLA applies, understand key provisions of the law, assist employees in handling leaves appropriately, and protect your organization from liability.
The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act’s (FCPA) main purpose is to prohibit bribing foreign officials, and it applies to misconduct inside and outside the United States. So, even if your organization has no direct foreign component, you need to understand the scope of the FCPA to encourage and maintain healthy business ethics within your workplace. This course provides information about the FCPA for all members of an organization who may come in contact with foreign officials or others who are involved with other dealings with foreign governments and entities. By the end of the course, you will understand the scope of the FCPA and what you must do to encourage and maintain healthy business ethics within your workplace.
This course is about planning and conducting effective meetings. Poorly planned and conducted meetings often serve little purpose and waste valuable resources. Just consider the cost of a meeting involving 10 people that runs for half an hour. That adds up to 5 hours’ worth of salaries and time taken away from other productive work. Yet meetings also can be an excellent way to handle many important aspects of your business. Knowing how to plan and lead focused, efficient meetings is, therefore, an important supervisory skill.
