Why anti-harassment programmes are often ineffective
ASK any company how it plans to combat workplace sexual harassment, and it will likely mention "anti-harassment training". Sounds great in theory. But, in practice, are anti-harassment training programmes really effective? The short answer is: it depends. On their content, their delivery and a host of other factors.
Aware's training and consultancy arm, Catalyse (formerly known as Aware Training Institute), has delivered anti-harassment training programmes to more than 300 companies since 2010. Our evidence-based and field-tested training programmes have enabled us to distil the key issues that companies should consider when carrying out such programmes. These training programmes are all the more important now that we have the results of the first-ever national survey, conducted by Aware and Ipsos, on the prevalence of workplace sexual harassment in Singapore.
