March Featured Product: Diversity Rules
Receive 20% off and get free shipping for this DVD training module until 4/1/15 with
code HR20.
Created exclusively for the construction industry, Diversity Rules is one DVD with two
training videos, each designed to aid construction employers with harassment
prevention, sensitivity and correction training. Short enough to be presented during
an on-the-job toolbox session, the video for workers includes 7 video vignettes that
address issues such as sexual harassment (including sexual orientation and
transgender status), age harassment, gender harassment (including family
responsibilities), racial harassment and religious harassment. The video for
supervisors includes all of the scenarios in the worker video, plus three additional
videos that show supervisors how to handle tough conversations with workers about
harassment and how to avoid inadvertently discriminating against workers.
