Workplace Harassment Policy Development and Training
Our workplace harassment & discrimination training programs (manager and employee editions) are modeled on the highest standards and best practices mandated by the California, Maine, and Connecticut workplace harassment training laws.
In addition to the substantive training, the executive, senior manager, and team leader edition contains a full explanation of the legal requirements, a summary of the key court cases, and a model workplace harassment & discrimination policy.
The all-employee edition includes illustrative cases and scenarios, a summary of the do’s and don’ts, a list of protected classes, and questions to stimulate further thought and discussion.
Both the manager and all-employee editions are interactive, providing thoughtful questions and an opportunity to ask the facilitator questions. Like all our online programs, both provide discussion forums for dialogue among participants as well as additional resources.

Special Compliance Needs
Companies engaged in international trade or contracting with the federal government must meet the ethics requirements of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
We provide online courses on both laws.
Our course on the Ethics Mandates of the Federal Acquisition Regulation is based on Michael Palmer’s book, Complying With the Ethics Mandates of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, a copy of which is included with the course.
In addition, we make a course available on the Sarbanes-Oxley Legislation’s requirements for an effective ethics program.
And our catalogue also includes a course on the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
Measuring Ethics Effectiveness
The adage “you can’t manage what you don’t measure” has become part of the conventional wisdom in business circles. By devising systems to collect and analyze appropriate data, we are able to get a better handle on the effectiveness of our ethics programs.
Our Ethics Metrics™ System goes beyond the obvious to help organizations capture and track relevant data, analyze it from different perspectives to plumb its meaning, and use the results to revise and improve the existing ethics program to achieve better outcomes.
