Ethics, Integrity, and Behavior: Part Three
Boundaries and Behavior to
Avoid Bullying, Discrimination, and Harassment
"I found the webinars useful, especially in my new role as Associate Director of the Survey. So many of the talking points can be applied to administrative thinking as well as personal accountability. Thank you for hosting."
- Barbara Lusardi, Geologist and Associate Director, Minnesota Geological Survey
This webinar is more important than ever, because:
Going to work is stressful enough because of workload. But if someone at your job is harassing you and making it hard to focus on your work, it inherently has direct and indirect costs to you, them, your employer, and even our community.
We all need guidance sometimes. Bullying, harassment, and discrimination are sensitive subjects for everyone, but they are extremely important in every sense.
Don't just register for this webinar for the ethics credit, but register for the priceless insight that lasts a lifetime.
Premise
Participants will learn or be reminded about illegal discrimination and harassment, trends developing on expanding the types of discrimination and harassment, best practices to avoid problematic conduct and the true costs for engaging in such behavior.
Participants will gain a better understanding of what is illegal discrimination and harassment and how to avoid these issues in the workplace.
Harassment Awareness
Even though it's the type of harassment that is most often reported, harassment in the workplace and hiring isn't limited to sexual harassment. Other actions regarding religion, race, age, gender, or skin color, for example, can also be considered harassment if they interfere with an employee's success or conjure a hostile work environment.
We are in a profession that demands sound technical judgments and decisions with fearless integrity and clear accuracy.
Ask Yourself...
- ... how knowledgeable are you about how to make a report of sexual harassment or discrimination?

- ... do you feel empowered to report inappropriate sexual conduct by a coworker at your company?
