Remote work is part of the “new normal” in many industries, and so the definition of harassment must include language reflecting how harassment may occur virtually through email, video meetings, chat rooms, and other forms of electronic communication. Also, as workplaces become more diverse, it is important to consider how workplace harassment that occurs virtually may target employees on grounds of race, religion, national origin, age, disability, and others.
In this course on “Detecting Harassment in Remote Work Environments,” you will learn the difference between casual and obvious offenses in potential harassing behaviors, and how to determine whether harassment has taken place. You will also learn how harassment is defined, how context and intent may play a role in determining if harassment occurred, and how to identify and remedy cyberbullying when it appears in remote work situations. Finally, you will learn to identify and address offenses including microaggressions and cyberbullying.
