Most employers have become familiar with the mandatory harassment training mandates that require training for managers in California, Connecticut, and Maine. Unfortunately, those in the business world often refer to such mandatory training as “check the box” training, relegating it to that which must be done but which will probably be ineffective at preventing and correcting sexually harassing behavior. Employers who want the harassment training to be effective must look beyond fulfilling a requirement – simply checking a box – and insist on training that makes a difference in their workplace culture.
In order for training to produce results, supervisors must know that their organization is committed to the principles taught. Organizations demonstrate that commitment by continually reinforcing the message, making it an integral part of the supervisors’ day-to-day work lives. Finally, organizations must hold supervisors accountable for living the message and sharing it with their co-workers. When supervisors are not held accountable, the training simply becomes “check the box”.
