Ed, SVP, heard through the grapevine that Walter, an employee, was dissatisfied with Ed’s management style. Walter is getting to ready to lodge a formal “hostile environment” complaint with HR. Ed decides to try to “nip this thing in the bud” by initiating a conversation with Walter to find out where it went wrong.
My first thought about this conversation is about how every conversation is different. We plan and plan and plan for every contingency. But we still need to be flexible and adaptable once we actually begin to engage with the thing we can’t plan for and control - the other person.
Thank you to Shannon and Marc for bringing Shelley, the supervisor, and Sam, the employee, to such vivid life as the bad news about Sam’s performance was delivered.
It continues to be amazing how even in our practice session, the feelings are real, the nerves are real, and the stakes feel real.

Nobody wants to go to sexual harassment prevention training. And everybody will make fun of it going into the session.
But, our sexual harassment workshops, with its audio podcasts, are an effective, easy, fun, approachable method for clearly communicating the company's expectations regarding appropriate workplace behavior. The workshops reinforce organizational values and promote an environment free of unwanted behaviors.
California, Connecticut and Maine all require supervisors to receive two hours of sexual harassment prevention training every two years. Each require specific course content that must be included. In addition to the training being effective and approachable, our Sexual Harassment Prevention training is utilized in these states and is compliant with their requirements.
Our TMG's Sexual Harassment Prevention training helps supervisors and managers understand what a complaint of harassment looks like; how and when a supervisor should talk to Human Resources; and provides specific strategies for recognizing, responding to and resolving complaints of sexual harassment and unlawful discrimination.
