Assignment
There are several standardized training events in large organizations that are required annually or biannually. One of these is often sexual harassment. For this assignment, write a training plan for all employees in your firm to educate and develop their awareness of sexual harassment and understanding of legal and organizational policies. Be sure to include training aspects of planning, design, implementation, and evaluation.
This plan should be in narrative form with a minimum requirement of 500 words. Discuss the following guidelines to complete your plan.
- Planning: Should all employees be trained at once? If not, who should be trained first? What are the anticipated outcomes or terminal learning objectives of the training?
- Design: In what format should the training be given, and why? What modalities will be used for employees on multiple shifts or in multiple locations? What are the core elements of the training that will align with the learning objectives?
- Implementation: Who will lead the training, and how will it be implemented? Will you be training for knowledge or behavior change? How will you conduct the actual training to account for knowledge and/or behavioral change?
- Evaluation: How will you know if the training was successful? What measures will you use to know if employees 1) learned from the training, 2) behaved differently after the training, and 3) the training has a bottom line impact to the firm?
Any sources used, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations in APA format.

All employees should be trained at once since sexual harassment has taken a new way in which individuals of both genders experience sexual harassment and not just female employees. The objective of the training should be for employees to recognize what sexual harassment is, differentiate between sexual harassment and discrimination, know the different types of sexual harassment such as, verbal sexual harassment, sexual contacts, and threats after negative response to sexual advances, the employees should also understand the laws relating to sexual harassment, the benefits they can get for sexual harassment and how to report sexual harassment in the workplace (McDonald, Charlesworth, and Graham, 2015).
