Maybe it is time to refocus our anti-harassment training

For the last eleven years my anti-harassment training has focused on sexual harassment for the most part with a passing acknowledgement that Title VII, ADA and ADEA prohibit harassment on the other protected groups as well. The main reason for that, at least from my perspective, is that is what my clients have asked for over that time period and even now. The calls I get for my services still are focused on sexual harassment. The one-on-one harassment training I do is almost exclusively about sexual harassment. This may be an artifact of the way I advertise my services and the fact that most of my referrals come from clients that used me for sexual harassment training. Still, it occurs to me that we might need to broaden the focus of our anti-harassment training programs to ensure that we are doing all we can to protect our organizations, and in the past few years my training has moved, albeit slowly, in that direction.
